AUGUST 2010: A NEW CAR?

I'm beginning to hate my car... I have spent SO MUCH MONEY on it this summer!


I bought my little 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer from my dad. He was looking to sell it when my 1992 Honda Accord decided to die. Buying from my dad was a lot easier than shopping at car lots, so...

Now the Lancer is on its last leg. I replaced rear struts to the tune of $700 last month, the back tire was shaking badly. And this month it was the radiator for $400. Imagine the air conditioner feeling like the heater in the middle of August--no fun! I really like my car guys at Triangle Tire, but I am sick of seeing them.


I guess it's time to start looking for a new car. Any suggestions?


I think I'm partial to the Hyundai Elantra, and maybe I'll buy a brand-new car this time. We'll see...
