I need a car. I own a 93 Nissan w/231,000 mi. no a/c (I live in Fl.). With a s.s. income buy, or fix?
I have bad credit, no bankruptcies, but cr. crd. chargeoffs. I worked in cr counseling, so I know it might be possible to borrow from a secondary lender, for a high milage, older used car. Should I fix my car instead, cv axel, (bearings ok, not clicking); oil reg switch broken and leaking oil; needs a fuel injector, dents don't bother me (several and peeling paint). I figure if I buy parts and have mechanic do work it will still cost me about 400-500 dollars. That amount would deplete the one thousand saved up, for a used high mileage vehicle. Income limited to 1,300 monthly, but live in public sr. housing low rent, not many bills currently. Health is mediocre, but may need car to drive for upcoming "treatments".
Buy, or fix what says you, and why?
