[quote]We usually get a new car when we start having body integrity problems or one repair after another. Sold the minivan when a door wouldn't shut and we had to hold it closed all the way going down a mountain. Sold a sedan after replacing seat belts three times, air whistling through a closed door after repainting a car door and taking it in twice to no avail, A/C going down repeatedly, etc. When we are taking a car in multiple times a month, it's time for a new one![/quote]
Hmm. See, that's the thing with my car...it has never left me stranded and it's not like I have problems month after month after month. It's just a big repair bill once a year. I pay it, I put it out of my mind, a year later there's another big repair. And it's always something different! One time the transmission, other time the suspension, etc. And then once I pay, I think, well, I HAVE to keep it now...

Anyway, I do take the point of an earlier poster who said it's not really a science. I basically like my car and that's probably why I haven't reached that tipping point as soon as others might have. Even though I should be there. [/quote]

Sounds like you just about replaced everything.  So, the car should give you a few more years.

I wish I would of repaired my old car instead of getting a carnote. [/quote]
