I've spent less total than if I went and bought from a lot and made repairs. My credit is zilch and I have a pending Ch 7, so financing is out leaving me with getting an econobox for cash and letting go of the Acura.
Regardless of what I do, I'll be working on A car somehow, I know from experience. I'm not complaining about the work I've put into this car. I love it! I've never been able to work on a car this much before. I just don't want to have a deal-breaker on my hands!

First tell her to shut up!!! thats what i said to my girlfriend (of 7 years) when she was like when are you going to sell this car? i was like never!!! she was like... why not? you have had it since your were in high school. i told her, first theres nothing wrong with my car (just needed paint @ the time), 2nd to have all the stuff my cars has i would be spending at least 10k on a used car. and 3rd i would sell you before i sell my car!!!
. fastforward to now, my is painted i have the stereo i always wanted, with a bunch of other stuff. her friends like my car, she like my car, and every1 we meet likes it.
I maybe put around 4k into my car over the 7-8 years that i have had my legend. but im happy with it. if you think about it a newer car would cost more in taxes each year, insurence, and monthly payments. not sure what you need to do to the car, but just keep it. we here can help out with DIY and other info, and even parts since on the west cost there are alot of legends at the yards for parts.
