Should I buy a car?

Question

I have a 1997 Jeep, it has started to become a money pit with all the repairs. I will be traveling all over the country for the next year for my job, should I buy a used car that gets better gas mileage and make payments, or keep the Jeep I have that is all paid off?

Answer 1

Dump the Jeep and get a Honda.  They're comfortable, economical and reliable.  Even if you take a hit on the sale of the Jeep, just think how much money you'll be saving getting 35 mpg on a new Accord vs 23 mpg on the Jeep - not to mention no more costly repairs.  Even fuel more savings on a Civic or Fit.

Answer 2

Buy a honda accord. they are so worth it. overall it saves you so much money.

Answer 3

sell the jeep. and buy a spacious used gas saving car. dont waist your money on a car that is going to burnout in the next 5 years of driving it.

Answer 4

I also agree with previous commenters.

Guess you should also compare insurance quotes for the economy Japanese car and your Jeep before buying one, for example here: http://autoinsurance.bebto.com

It will be less expensive to insure.

Answer 5

With gas being as much as it is, it may be worth it to sell it and get a car with better mileage. You would have to figure out how much you would be saving on gas. It might be worth it if you will be traveling a lot with gas prices that never seem to stop going up.

I hear it's hard to get your hands on a car with good gas milage these days. Someone offered me 8k for my 98 Honda Civic and that's somewhere around twice as much as the kbb value.

Answer 6

if you can sell the jeep for a decent price then yeah I would get a new car

Answer 7

another car in great condition Gas economic

Answer 8

get an electric car
