Oh the joys of transportation.... I recently payed off my car, a Kia Optima. (Never will buy a Kia EVER again).
I really wanted to milk it along another year, but I am so tired of fixing it and dumping money into it. It has had 3 alternators, 2 batteries, numerous belts, motor mounts, CV axles replaced 3 times. And not to mention when my timing belt snapped and bent all the valves in my engine
And then of course there is brakes and tires, which yes, I know are a normal wear and tear, but all I do is fix that car..Blah... the list is endless....So needless to say, I am DONE with it.
I have been shopping around with a good friend of mine who knows cars and is amazing at talking dealers down and getting a wonderful deal. I really wish I could get a Honda or Toyota but they are simply out of my price range, even buying used.
I test drove a 2006 Nissan Maxima and I fell in love with it. I can't believe the power that car had
I am leaning toward a Nissan because they are in my budget and well I like the way they look
From what a hear, they are very reliable. My grandma has one and loves it. I also have a few friends that drive various models and all have been great vehicles. I just want something I can get in and drive and not stress out on what will fall apart next. That would be such a stress relief!
So cross your fingers for me I find something!
