Will do as it is the most sensible option!

Figure a timing belt/water pump, suspension fix, tune-up is 4 or 5 car
payments.
With the 330Xi, you still have another 32 car payments (assuming a 36
month note).
Assuming the car has been taken care of, you should be good for awhile
.... save up a few car payments (that you aren't paying) for the next
repair.

Hi Everyone,
I'm in a dilema...
I currently own a 2000 A4 2.8l quattro with about 89k. The timing
belt, suspension, leaky seals, and I think the rocker arm needs
replacing. So, would you fix the car and keep it till it runs no more
or sell it and get something newer and more reliable. I'm thinking
either a 2003 330ix with 23k miles or a new Subaru WRX wagon. My main
concern in keeping the car is that it will continue to keep costing me
more and more money.
Thought?
Cheers,
Trevor
