So, my car needs about $1200 worth of work cause the rear differential is messed up and now it needs new tires too cause of it. Outside of the repair needed, I owe about 2000 less than what it's worth... and that's with it in fair condition. Getting it fixed would put it into good condition.
Anyway, I'm moving back up to Mammoth where the only driving I do is back to LA once, sometimes twice a month. Therefor, I spend around $500 a month between car payment, gas, and insurance.
For that amount of money, I could fly round trip between Mammoth and LA twice and still have $150 to $200 a month left over. Or I could rideshare down to LA twice a month for $80 total and have $420 a month left over.
Should I do this? Saving $420 a month could mean me traveling a lot more and more easily affording things like SIA and maybe getting a season pass to Squaw and new skis and so forth...
But then I dont have a car....
Do I do this? I'm really trying to justify it as a good idea.
It's an 06 subaru impreza outback. It's worth nearly 10k fixed, or 9k not fixed.
