Hello Mustachians!
I am a long time lurker on this forum. I have read some great advice and it has helped me get into a better financial situation. Here is my question:
I own a 2005 Toyota Corolla with a 155,000 miles. It drives great and there really isn't anything wrong with it. It may need new struts/suspension and possibly new brakes and transmission fluid change but it has been an awesome car for almost 10 years! I can easily see this thing going another 100,000 miles with good care. I always thought I would drive this thing in the ground but if I am going to sell it, now would be the time before it starts having issues.
The only reason I am considering a change is because we have a relative who needs to get rid of their 2012 Honda Fit with 44,000 miles to move out of the country. They offered us the car for $6000. Its worth a lot more than that and I really want to get a hatchback. I could probably sell my car for $4500 since its in good condition. So it would probably cost me around 1500 bucks. What are your thoughts?
