So me and my parents recently bought a $4500 vehicle that they picked out, im paying partly of it. In the few months that i have have it, we've already made 1500 dollars in repairs. It is a 1998 chrysler, so im sure that this won't be the finishing of the expensive repairs.
A family friend/mechanic also told us that much of the exhaust is rusted up, as okay as parts of the electrical system. Obviously, this wont be cheap either.
My mom have agreed with me that it would be better to put up for sale it now, and buy something else, fairly then verbs to pay outrageous repairs. My dad isnt going for it.
I guess what i am asking is what can i say/do to sustain convince my dad to get something else?
Answers: Don't try to convince anybody of anything. Let them prefer. I know it was going to be moderately your money, but they have profoundly more experience at this. From a money standpoint, you can never really justify switching cars. Any arguments you can formulate would need to be dishonest, really.
Was this a coup¨¦ for you to drive? If so, on the next one, I'd freshly drive it. Don't be taking it to mechanics and asking them if there's anything they can think of that they might want to charge you for. That's approaching giving somebody a blank check. Just drive it until something breaks that you can understand, and next fix that.
For instance, I'd totally ignore this business just about the electrical system. You fix that when it bothers you, not some mechanic. The exhaust is also something you can fix when it bothers you.
Tell your dad if he wants to hold on to the car it is very soon his. There's no reason to preserve a junk bucket. Tell him that it any gets sold, or you stop paying him money because his verdict to keep the coup¨¦ is his decision to own the coup¨¦ himself.
