TL;DR : I have a 2000 mazda 626 and the transmission is going bad(O/D light is flashing and car won't go into last gear) - I know a mechanic who can probably fix it for somewhere around 200-600 dollars but I only have $1,200 to my name.

Would I be better off just buying a bucket off craiglist or should I ride the mazda until it completely gives up on me (how much longer do I even have?).

Fix it, use the remainder to get a hair cut and good clothes and get a job.

She's been pretty reliable over the last two years considering I don't know jack shit about cars except how to turn the key in the ignition and drive.

Proteges were pretty unkillable if you treated them well

OP here - this may be a long shot question to ask online but if I were to keep driving my car in it's current condition how much longer would it hold up?
