aite well i have an 86 lxi as you can tell by the name. i had everything tuned timing checked the radiator hose checked. new clutch and oil change (not clutch oil lmao). basically everything is sound. and well i recently gotten into an accident which resulted in an estimate of a flat rate of 1500 to replace the broken parts and whatnot. 1500 is not a joke but i can manage. the perdiciment im in is i dont know what i should do because my place doesnt allow car maintanice outside (condominiums). So there for im stuck with one of these options.
would you:
a. be car-less for 3 months and save money to get car that will be reliable and faster.
b. spring for a better but well under prime car as soon as you have enough and risk more money on repairs and whatever.
c. just pay the mechanic and keep the car but ask for finantial assistance from relatives.
d. get another 86-89 accord and have a mechanic swap parts to make the new car run. (same price i figure 650 for a non starting accord plus about 6-700 for labor.)
or e. part out with what i have and make due with what i get and hope a good deal comes along.
honest opinions only please id appreciate it. i cant fix it here and i dont have a flat bed tow truck to do my bidding so towing is money also. thanks.
btw. i need a car pretty bad but its really not a nessesity right now. its more of a luxury but i like the conviniance of one.
i apoligize for the typos its 4 in the morning and im tired as fuck....
