I have a 2012 Honda Civic with 150,000 miles on it. It has about $2000 worth of work it needs (various issues and that’s the best price I got).
I got a trade in offer for $4000 and I can put that towards a 2021 Toyota Rav4 with low mileage along with another $7000 I had been saving towards an AWD car I had wanted to upgrade to.
Some people are telling me to drive my car till it dies. I get that but I’m not sure I want to put in $2000 now and continue to put in money towards an older car that will continue to have issues and need work.
What would you do?
