Used car fix vs buy another used vehicle?

Topic starter

Love your information!

What's your fix vs buy for 2005 Ford explorer, 160k miles owned since 2013. I've put in about $ 1500 repairs every couple years which i think is reasonable. Regular full synthetic oil changes. I'd like to run it as long as possible. When does it start to be time to stop pouring 💰 into used vehicle like this?


Please don't post duplicates. Thanks.

When it needs major repairs such as engine or transmission, or when it starts costing more per month than a decent car payment, it is time to let it go.

 

Sounds like you are ok for now.

What kind of repairs? 

I doubt you’d get much for it now, anyways. I’d continue to drive it, till the wheels fall off, then buy a Toyota. 


Thanks I'll keep driving then Toyota 😁
