Nissan Maxima: When to stop the love affair with my maxima

we read all this the first time you posted it.

you have to ask yourself one thing

do I want a car payment for the next 3 to 5 years

next you have to balance the cost of the needed repairs versus a car payment
over a 1 year period, if the repair costs are less than the total new car
payment you should have your answer.

ok so we have 300 bucks a month for 12 months, that's 3600 bucks

and you have 2 k in repairs of your existing car... sounds simple math to
me.

High interest loans suck. You'll spend your life working for a
banker.

You didn't say whether the 250,000 is miles, or Km.

If it is KM, keep the car. If it is miles, I'd have to say let it go,
but you already have so much invested that an engine/tranny rebuild or
exchange may be worthwhile to you when it proves necessary.

NissTech et al

i understand but i was only wondering because there is still a lot
that can go wrong and I don't do my own repairs (i hope to learn when
I eventually buy my own house, and have a car to play with). For this
reason, i think I thought I should sell it.... Based on the
description and the mileage (400K kilometres and 250K miles), with no
AC, what do you think this car would fetch? or do you think i should
sell it ASIS?

If the car would be a pittance (fetch under $700) then i would keep
it, and fix the rust problem, and do an engine/tranny rebuilt when the
time comes)...

If i repaint the car, would that stop the rust problem...

thanks agin, Pinto

If you're thinking of selling, after 250K miles, you'll be hard pressed
to find someone who loves the car as you do. It's an old car, has lots
and lots of miles on it, and is now, compared to today's cars,
considerably under-powered. There's so much going against it except your
love for it. I don't doubt that it is a great car, 3rd Gen maximas are
the most unique looking of all Maximas, but hey, it's too much of a been
there done that kind of thing.
