I have a 94 Ford Taurus with almost 140,000 miles. I continue to put money into it for repairs and many of the parts have been replaced. Yet again something is wrong, I need new front breaks, springs and struts. It is about $1000 in repairs. My question is do I fix my car in hopes it will last 3-4 more years without major repairs or should I finaly junk it and spend the money towards a new used car with 40,000 miles. Something around $4000-$5000. I am at a loss of what to do?
Sorry to say this but I think you have wasted alot of money in the past on your Ford Taurus, when you should have considered buying a car far before. If it has 140,000 miles and is always falling apart, I think it is time for a new car or truck. You can get many nice new cars, trucks, SUV's, whatever you want with the price range that you have. With $4,000 to $5,000 you can probably get a real nice car or truck, depending on what you want. It walso depends what you want to do to your car or truck after you purchase it. If you want to get it repainted and get body work done on it, then you should buy a less expensive car and save the rest of the money for the body work. Don't waste anymore money on your Ford Taurus. It is NOT worth it! Just shop around for a new car and be kind of picky, that way you will get a good deal and will get something you will really like and will be able to keep for 4-5 years. Hope I helped. ~Sherah
