While I can afford a newer car, I can't bring myself to spend 700usd just to drive a new car when my old car is still running. Even if my entire engine explodes, a new engine replacement is like 5k, it's still worth it. Maybe one day my engine won't be available but for now, I'm happy with not paying a car payment.
