Car Questions!!! Fix Power Steering in My Car or Get A New Car?

Ok, so here's the deal, you didn't tell me how many miles are on this car, so I can't exactly figure out how much it is worth.

Kelly Blue Book puts this at between $2000 - $3000 depending on mileage and condition (assuming that all other stuff is in good condition... with this age, though, I wouldn't be sure.).

For about $1200, you can get a car that you know (and maybe like), and be pretty sure that there is nothing too wrong.

On the other hand, you can sell your car (maybe) and get perhaps $800-$1000 for it (bad steering geer, huh?) if you are lucky, then save up a bunch of money and get a different car for, maybe $2000-$3000.

It's the universal devil you know vs. the devil you don't. I hate selling cars, because I never get what I think that they are worth. I would personally go with getting it fixed. You can get good prices on remanufactured racks, but I would never personally try to replace a rack... Check with your mechanic on part prices and if he will let you buy the parts yourself... sometimes you can save money.

I trust all will work out.

then you definitely comprehend what it expenses to have a woman chum. two times that it extremely is a 1997 automobile. no longer new. i might bypass the Coolant Fortifier (Jack Daniels is each and every of the fortifying i choose). it extremely is a recognition and there is not any info at the back of the chemical even although, hoses oftentimes do no longer value that plenty that i might scrounge around in salvage yards for them and it purely ain't nicely worth it. guidance kit you get new purely because of fact it is going to no longer have been a situation till some thing made it a situation which includes wheel alignment is a procedures out for way long term.or you been ditch leaping. Rack and pinion? sounds like this automobile has seen some front end action which includes an"vehicle twist of destiny" i might pick the extra value-effective mechanic(because it quite is in many circumstances all artwork and much less areas correct) aside from the wheel alignment-that i might take to a shop it extremely is desperate up just to do wheel alignments so they have the laser aligning kit. which capacity you ought to have the guidance kit in & rack and pinion replaced. now no longer can they use tape measures to align it.
