I have a 2001 honda accord, that i need to know if i should fix it or get a new one?

Question

should i get a new car or pay to get my old one fixed. people are saying that if to fix it is over 1800 that i should just get a new one because i will just need to get one in like a year or two. it needs a new a transmission and the brakes need to be fixed and it needs a new bumper and a new paint job. what do i do please help... right now i cant drive it... i had to rent a car for now.

Answer 1

you probably don't need the bumper and paint job.  those things are just for show.  it will run without them.  as far as the other things go, just figure what will be cheaper for you?  how much would you spend on a new car compared to what you would spend on repairs? insurance rates go up with a new car.  calculate the cost difference for yourself before you make a decision.

Answer 2

I would just go get a new car. and just sell your old car you can still good moneyif you sell tht accord

Answer 3

I would just get the transmission and the brakes done. Save for a new car.

Answer 4

Get a new Milan

Answer 5

Get your current one fixed.

Just get the brakes and transmission fixed, and if you're feeling really extravagant, get the bumper fixed too. You can live without a new paint job (or even a new bumper) for now.

A new car would cost you FAR more than you'd pay to get your trans., brakes, and even bumper fixed, combined.

Answer 6

Take it to the bone yard.

Answer 7

new

Answer 8

Wow! How did an 8 year old Honda get so bad? I have owned 7 Hondas and they have gone an average of over 200,000 miles and were still running strong when they were sold.

It's borderline when it comes to fixing the car or selling it the way it is. There are 2001 V6 EX Honda Accords locally that are selling for nearly $10,000 in perfect shape. On the other hand, yours sounds like it needs a lot of work.

If the engine was fine and the body was straight and rust free, I  would probably fix it as long as the bill was under $3,000.

Answer 9

I'd fix it if it has 130,00 miles or less. Honda's are #1 in reliabilty so u should be set for a while with a new transmission.
