No. You can't afford to NOT have a better mileage car. Even selling that vehicle for a cheaper vehicle with better mileage will save you hundreds of dollars a month.Originally posted by: dmcowen674
I live check to check as it is, no way I could afford a car payment.
If the old clunker dies, I'm dead in the water. It will have 200,000 miles by end of the year.
A mid 90s Prizm would cost ~$2000-$2500. And it'll save you $500/month. In 4-5 months the thing would pay for itself. In 1 year, the gas savings would earn you a a free Prizm plus a free $3500. How can you afford NOT to accept the free Prizm and free $3500 every year?
