You could have said that 100k ago, keep up the maintenance and small repair jobs until it actually goes.

Honestly that is a good point. But lets say that the engine blew up tommorow hypothetically. How would you go about purvhasing a new used vehicle?

>>1596608
Well I'm not /biz/. But I'm a cheapass.
I would look for a decent used car.
Between 5-7 years old. Less than 80k miles, less than 7000$.
Preferably only one owner. By owner only.
Hondas have good quality and a low resale value.
Civic/Fit etc
Buy from someone who is in desperate need to sell.
Save the rest. Or use another 2000& to buy a Honda Nighthawk 250 and gear. Great gas saver.

True. I should probably just get a e
Reliable mech to come with me.....so i guess the general concesus is go cheap

If you can get 0 financing then finance it. Otherwise check your interest rate and compare it to your market return.

Sell the car before it completely dies or needs a major repair.

Buy a cheap used car (10k) then use the rest as a down payment on a rental property.
