I'm in the military and have a dilemma, I am 21 years old and I can't decide if I should keep my car or buy a new used one. I have about $5,000 to put towards a new used car or fix the one I have. The car I currently have is a 1990 Acura Legend, it has 250,000 miles on it runs great but needs new gaskets all around, which will cost me about $2,000 to fix. Its a great car, it's just old. It would be more cost effective if I kept it, insurance and repairs, but on the other hand, it would be nice to have a car that I don't have to worry about breaking down on me, I'm so torn. It's more of a personal preference question but would love to hear other peoples inputs or experiences, thanks for answering
