[Overtaxed]

Well I've had this car for a while but when the repairs start piling up, I think the money is better spent on a new one. That's behind all the "financially challenged" comments lately.

I'll agree with you there. We bought our current one after my last one was diagnosed with needing $800+ in brake repairs... figured it just made more sense to put that money into a down payment.

Then both my wife and I were layed off a month later... but that's another story.
