You heard the old saying, "A fool and their money!".
I keep my cars until the repairs, if needed, exceed the Blue Book wholesale price of the car. I see people do that all the time, spending $3000 on a car that's worth $2000.
I, generally don't have problems with my cars! If I do, I will attempt to do the repairs myself, as I now have the time.
