Is It Worth It?

[Lunar Depths]

I just got into an accident with my '97 Corolla. Basically, the front apron is a mess, and I'm looking at 4200 to repair it. I have a little over 164,000 miles on it. Should I take the loan to fix my car, or look for another? I can't afford a new one, so I'd be risking purchasing a used vehicle. The only thing is, I commute to school and I REALLY need a car. If I repair my Corolla, will it be able to last another 80-90,000 miles? Thanks for your help, I'm really having trouble deciding.

£4200 you say?

take the loan and buy a newer car...problem solved.

with that much miles on the clock i'd be inclined to look for another car anyway!

get the lone & find a newer car & you still might have some money to do some mods.

Yep, get a new one -- even worth taking a slightly larger loan as it won't be totally wasted.

... or fix the car yourself?

As joe says.

P.S. Joe, his location appears to be New jersey, I assume the US, so it's $4200 (£2100approx)
