yikes. but like others have said - its still cheaper than a car payment, and good luck finding anything of decent used quality for that price in the current market - sadly.
i picked up a MPG special a month ago, and its been a competition of parts jealousy between it and my silverado since i've gotten it. thankfully nothing major - but its been a few hundred almost every damn week.
last night the Electric Fan on the Sonic sh!t the bed on me in traffic across town. 3.5 hr wait for a towtruck.
couple weeks ago it was the water pump on the silverado. then the alternater on the sonic. between the two - including buying the sonic - i've spent close to $6k on vehicle stuff in the last 5 weeks. and the silverado still needs about another grand thrown at it (coilover rebuild on the front, and 2 new tires) thankfully those are when i get to them things not leaving me stranded stuff...
thankfully now that the sonic is road worthy again, i can get back to paying for it with the gas savings (33mpg vs 15½ mpg) and stress a little less about fuel costs with al the driving i do.
