I think you really can … especially if and when it leaves you stranded and you’re stuck with repair and tow bills etc … 3 figure vehicles are a losing proposition
If you get 90 days out of it then scrap for $200… that is some affordable motoring.

Obviously not a fun way to live, but poors gonna poor. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Very fair point $500 for 90 days of car is super cheap

She decided to off the car so we're going to appraise it this weekend. We are moving in together and she will be really close to her work and her barre studio, and as you know I give her the passenger princess treatment whenever we go somewhere.

2012 Fiesta, with almost 150k miles, CEL on and off for o2 censor and a bunch of :bs:
I mean it’s the cheapest model of a cheap brand. At 150k and 11 years, most of these little commuter cars are nearing end of life.
I drove it to carmax and back for the first time since like 7 months, she was getting worse, the car just shakes if i dont apply moderate trottle. The engine temp light comes on when it sits in traffic for too long, so i had to stategize routes to prevent overheating, basically the fan belt needs to be replaced and the dct gets jerkier. So yeah, she's done

Sorry man. those things are epic pieces of shit because of the transmission. 500 is scrap value.

List it for 1900 on FB marketplace, be honest about condition, be happy if someone offers you 4 figures and wash hands of that thing.

YES. Carmax etc. may give you too much money for your late model whatever but they don't market old cars or shit cars. Those you gotta take care of yourself.

So :tits: basically told whats up to his parents. Her dad was happy to willingly offer $2,500, so that her younger sister whose finishing high school now can use it/learn to drive/use it for grocery errands. He loves doing projects to pass time, so he'll probably enjoy it. So we're dropping it to her parents house at some weekend near the end of this month.

I know and fixing the other issues is not even worth when you compare to the price others may be willing to buy.

That's how the Millennials are buying homes. Boomer thieves are croaking and leaving millions in RE+Assets to their CF.
