[quote=Anonymous]As someone who, years ago, had a monthly car payment, I appreciate being free from that financial burden. In 2018, I paid cash for a 2015 Acura TLX, and it has been a great car for me. I currently have 150,000 miles on it and would love to drive it for another 150,000. However, in the last three years or so, I have found myself spending about $2,000 annually on repairs. Just this past Saturday, I paid $450 on repairs, and I had to return today for another unexpected $125 repair. While the car remains reliable, today's visit made me question whether it's time to start considering a newer vehicle, possibly within the next year. After investing so much in repairs for your older car, at what point did you decide to buy a new or newer one? I take my car to the dealer. Since it's older, should I consider switching to a regular auto repair shop to save money? At what point did you stop going to the dealership for repairs?[/quote]
