What car do you drive?

@VioletButterfly well you have ended up with a corker of a ‘Friday car’ (is that an expression in the US?). What a horror it has been for you! I’m surprised because in my family we’ve always had extremely trusty Hondas that have just run and run and run with zero problems. Interesting to hear that the make is nothing extraordinary, we have simply been lucky and you sound like you’ve been very unlucky!

Axle joints and engine mounts are not things that need to be replaced at 36.5k! And the interior should be almost as good as new with that little mileage on it. Is it worth repairing? Or would you be better selling it on and calling it quits? I wouldn’t have the patience to keep fixing stuff that should not yet be broken on a car!

Tee-hee yes my fiesta is quite nippy! I’ve already noticed an increase in my own confidence, I’m going at roundabouts and changing lanes when before I might have hesitated and missed the opportunity. Because now I know I can’t put my foot down and get clear in less time than before!

@Ice_Fire - Yes, it's been challenging from the jump and I have to agree with you on the repairs, but the mechanics say otherwise due to the climate here - it's very hot and humid most of the year. I can't afford to replace B at this point, so will be moving forward with repairs in the next week or so. I stopped by the tire place again and go a full quote for the tires, axle, and an alignment. We'll see what my Honda service manger can do about price matching. If nothing, then I'll let the tire place do that portion of the repairs and take B to the dealer for the engine mount. It's weird though as only the dealer has worked on my car. Oh well.....

Glad you're having a fiesta ? with your Fiesta. lol :)

Volkswagon tiguan. Got it to replace the momma mobile (mini van) I've had since kids were young.
