Okay, I own a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport with 166K miles on it.?
The Number 1 Oxygen Sensor has quit working, so the Check Engine Soon light is on and off, usually off when I go to the mechanic. The transmission fluid is leaking, but I just add fluid when I get the oil changed. The oil is leaking about a quart between oil changes. The timing belt will probably have to be changed at 180K miles. Am I better off getting the car fixed, or trading it in on another used car? With another car, making car payments and full coverage insurance payments does not sound inviting. When does fixing a car become more expensive than buying, all things considered?

Oxygen sensors are cheap and should be replaced ASAP so that the sensors send back the right voltage to you car.. It's probably the one right on your intake/exhaust manifold.. Just unscrew it and put a replacement in.. Or have it done at a shop.. The tranny fluid would be my concern.. Is it still shifting smooth if so it should be fine just keep your eye on the level though! You still have some life left in that car.. I used to have a Mitsubishi and it didn't even make it close to that car in mileage but it was my first car.. I had the 02 sensors go my brakes my ignition coils, and fuel injectors.. My tranny started slipping a bit after a while.. Good luck
