Basically, I need help figuring out how best to access my vehicle's title or if I should just try to junk this thing with no title. Timeline of events is below:

• 2016: Bought used car from Florida dealership
  • Car was bought outright, not financed
  • Never received paper title (young ,dumb, first car purchase and didn't think of it- lesson learned)
  • Car was consistently registered & driven in Florida
• 2018: Moved to Colorado a few years later with same vehicle
  • Registered in CO very shortly after moving with no issues
  • It has been consistently registered/driven in CO since 2018
• 2021: Title event occurs in Tennessee with lien reported and incorrect mileage
  • Never been to or lived in any part of Tennessee, didn't notice this until now because I've never looked up any info about my car
  • Registered in TN at the same time, but not registered since then
• 2023: Trying to figure out what to do with the vehicle while still in CO
  • Value is very minimal (<$1k), I'm fine with junking it but would love to gift to family member in need who is still in FL
  • Looking up previous title # in Florida database indicates the attempt to mail it to me failed and now the title just reads "canceled" and there is a "stop" on it

​
Questions: Is this worth going to Florida and attempting to prove ownership of the vehicle & request a new title? Do I have to be worried about whatever happened in TN or was that likely just someone incorrectly reporting the VIN? Is it going to be a big hassle or should I just junk it and move on?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it worth it? Exterior and interior look pretty damn good, and no accidents. Carfax was provided by dealership. Haven't seen it in person yet but wanted to know if this is something worth getting, since I am looking for a fun reliable year round daily.

Leased a Kia Forte-GT Line 2021 in September 2021. There's about 500 dollars left in lease payments expiring in October. I was going to go a few dealerships to get it appraised to see if I could get money for it. It does have some minor scratches on it but zero mechanical issues. The Kelly Blue Book puts my car's value at around 22.5k. I was looking at dealerships around me and one is selling a 2020 Kia forte GT line with 30 thousand miles at nearly 23k. Would it be reasonable to ask for 21.5k. The residual on the car at lease expiration is about 14k.

Studio Version SUGGESTED SCALE: 1-4: Not good. Regularly skip. 5: It’s okay, but I might have to be in the right mood to listen to it. 6: Slightly better than average. I won’t skip it, but I wouldn’t choose to put it on. 7: This is a good song. I enjoy it quite a bit. 8-9: Really enjoyable songs. I rank them pretty high overall. 10: Masterpiece, magnum opus, or similar terminology.

I’m on the fence about buying a new Tracker classic. To add some context, while I enjoy bass fishing and would like to make it more of a hobby I’m by no means even an amateur fisher. I just want SOMETHING that can get me out on the lakes to explore, fish and occasionally take my wife out to just lounge around. I’ve done the kayak thing before and eventually sold it. I’ve also considered jet ski but really for the price of a mid grade jet ski you could just get this tracker classic. Basically , does the Bass tracker make sense for someone who’s number 1 priority is get out on the water to explore and number 2 would be to fish? I would like to buy something new under 20k as I’m new to boating and don’t want to take on someone’s else’s problem! I live in Fort Worth tx.

I’m looking for something more than just a hook up. In search of a woman who is in a similar situation. Someone that wants more than a one time thing, but connection. Flirty conversations, a friend to talk to, and etc.
I'm a married hygienic man in a dead bedroom situation looking for substance. I’m not looking to change our situations, I just want to be "wanted" and vice versa.
I’m looking for a discreet woman who has some free time during the day, weekdays and flexibility on weekends. Not all time availability is necessary but that's currently my schedule for now.
I'm 5'10, white/hispanic, 185lbs(Dad bod), shaved head, clean, disease free, and wanting ongoing for safety. Not seeking for a specific age, race, or etc. Just a woman that seeks the same, not wanting to change your situation or mine.

I’ve just started looking around to see what the used car market is like as I need to buy a car for a relative. I first dropped by a few big name dealerships, was upfront about the fact that I wasn’t buying today, that I was getting an idea of the landscape, and they were patient and pleasant with me. They asked for my information and I politely said I wasn’t giving that out yet, and they were totally cool with that (at least outwardly). They were nice and informative enough to where I will probably reach out to the specific salespeople again when I’m ready to get more serious about my purchase.
I then decided to drop by Hertz because I’d heard some decent things about the car buying experience. Low pressure, etc., figured it was worth investigating. The salesman sat me down in his office and started showing me some of their inventory on his computer, and then picked up a pen and asked me to write down my name and number. I said, politely I thought, I wasn’t giving that out today and his face and voice immediately went flat, he rolled his eyes, THREW the pen down and said “Thanks for coming in.” I just said sure thing and left without another word, but it left me extremely cold.
I mean if for some reason his “I’m wasting my time with this guy” senses started tingling, okay, but there are better ways of handling that right? Force a smile, guide me to the door, give me a card and wave. I mean you never know who’s going to turn into a customer. As it is I’m going to do everything in my power to have nothing to do with the company ever again now.
It’s not unusual to refuse to give out personal info, especially if you’re not test driving yet, right? The previous sales reps acted fine with it (even if it was an act). The previous sales reps were probably early 30s, and the Hertz guy was maybe 70ish, so we were definitely talking about different generations of salesfolk.
Anyway. Not a great start to the experience.

Immediately after the JFK assassination, the New Orleans Bolton Ford car dealership manager contacted the FBI, and advised them that on January 20, 1961, a group of men had attempted to buy trucks from him. They belonged to an anti-Castro group called Friends of a Democratic Cuba, and the American with the group identified himself as Joseph Moore. However, he asked that the name “Oswald” be written on the purchase documents since Oswald was handling the money for the group and he would pay for the trucks if the deal went forward. “Friends of a Democratic Cuba” and the name “Oswald” were written on the dealership’s order form and given to the FBI by the dealership manager in 1963. Receiving this information so soon after the assassination must have been unsettled the FBI agents, for a leading figure in the Friends of a Democratic Cuba in 1961 was none other than violently anti-Communist Guy Banister. It was Guy Banister’s office on 544 Camp St., known as the “Cuban Grand Central Station,” where Oswald worked out of in the summer of 1963.
According to the Retail Merchant’s Credit Association of Fort Worth, Texas, the FBI on two separate occasions contacted them within two weeks of the Bolton incident in 1961. The FBI asked if they knew of any business dealings that Oswald had in Fort Worth. At the time, Oswald was still in the Soviet Union, so why was the FBI asking about him in the Texas city where he and his mother had relocated to after leaving New Orleans? And what prompted the FBI to connect Fort Worth to the Bolton incident in 1961 if the Bolton dealership manager did not notify them until after the assassination, almost three years later? Something had to trigger the Fort Worth inquiry. The likely answer is that in 1961, Guy Banister and his cohorts were under surveillance by the FBI or another government agency, which was how they knew of the Bolton incident. But what made the Bolton dealership manager remember, in 1963, an obscure incident from almost three years prior? The logical explanation is that he was approached in 1961 by the FBI, or whoever was keeping tabs on the Friends of a Democratic Cuba, after they visited his dealership, making it easy for him to recall after the assassination.
Another question is, if Lee Oswald was in the Soviet Union, how would the Friends of a Democratic Cuba know to use his name if Banister had not yet met Oswald when the incident took place? Now, we know David Ferrie already knew Oswald from when he was in the Civil Air Patrol in the mid-1950s, and Ferrie was his instructor, when a teenage Oswald lived in New Orleans with his mother. Does that imply that Ferrie was involved with the Friends of Democratic Cuba along with Banister? Perhaps he was, for in 1963 Ferrie was also working out of 544 Camp Street, and it was likely Ferrie who brought Oswald to Banister’s den of anti-Castro activism. It all suggests that Ferrie and Banister knew Oswald from before 1956, which was when he and his mother escaped from New Orleans in a hurry and fled to Forth Worth.

Honestly, the worm boss looks cool as fuck no doubt but it's a bummer like everything else in this game it will be mostly dead content like most things in this game. Hatchery looks fun but again, will be dead content for most. Why? The rewards are awful and they can't think of any innovative ideas create a replayable system to keep players coming back and this applies to basically majority of the games content and I believe it's heavily to do with the perks. Not just resilient/ward/bane or attunement but because every other perk itself is poorly made that they have no place in either PvE or PvP. I thought maybe they'd get the idea with hatchery seals and perhaps it would let you change stats on any gear or any named atleast but no it's for the piss poor named loot you get inside only.
"Seal changing attributes would make people get BIS too quick", BIS should be subjective to each person but it's definitive to all. The perks that are actually useful are so limited it's not hard to determine what's a "BIS". Should BIS be 3 defensive perks for every class? Shirking/ele + Freedom + Resilient for PvP. Classes should be wanting their weapon perks not avoiding it for these perks. This isn't asking for a nerf to these perks but rather buffs and introduction of new interesting perks. Ones that aren't if you do X gain/do Y which is fortify/haste/empowerend lmfao.
Ok so we add more perks, doesn't that make crafting more and more annoying every time as well getting new gear in general? To that I'd say yes. However, I think with introduction to perks they should be exclusive to places in already existing content to revive the areas. For example, a new FS perk that lets flamethrower overheat to blue and shoot further for a temporary amount of time with more damage, in exchange you're taking % damage during it and disables other spells for a few seconds (bit like rumble in league), it's unreal damage but you're risking a blowback if all fails, it travels further, does more damage on weapon itself but more % health damage. The perk is only acquirable in great cleave from named mobs near the Empyrean dungeon and inside it as a craft mod, along with a few new FS/armours that have the perk on it. So New perk + ??? + ??? with a perk bucket, it can be upgraded to 600 with a random 3rd perk. It's BOP, the mods can be sold for profit as money is the biggest motivator for anyone which means reasons to revisit something. You are free to add more perks that can feel acquirable to a basic level that wouldn't be BIS instantly but get you going without frustrating people if they ever felt the desire to try something else.
Redistribute old perks like this too, each POI mob has exclusive drops with new named items with similar format, Perk + ??? + ???, both random and can be upgraded. Give arenas and dungeons perk themes that are weekly, remove arena keys. Lazarus perk theme is Thwarting strikes and Physical Aversion, Genesis is Enchanted and Elemental aversion, Barnacles is Attunement and Resilient etc, all dungeons should be able to have any perk as the theme. The weapons and armour will have a much higher chance to roll these perks on the first roll, the craft mods will have a chance to be found in the chests during the run. Maybe someone runs it all day for Thwarting strike GAs and take their chances, others to get the craft mod and either sell or craft. I would say to not apply the upgradeable route for these drops in dungeons but make them BOE and perhaps nudge rarity higher so there's a few more legendaries to be had to deem worth doing but not M10 level of legendary drops though that also exists for shards.
Maybe someone will finally visit that poor alligator Tazorjaw under the waterfall in Ebonscale or kill that gatelord at the great cleave elite fort or the other 100 named mobs that aren't touched. Fresh 60s can do dungeons for expertise with 625s as there are lobbies made all the time that isn't for m10s and we're not just doing taxi farm runs to 600. Devs are free to add perks all the time and not fear backlash, can just whack some armour and weapon with the perk then random 2nd/3rd perk so their loot tables are already 10x better than we have lmao, content feels varied, it can be engaging ways to make money for other ambitions (would you rather chop trees with max luck or be killing shit for money?).
Raids shouldn't be having m8 level of shards and worse loot than m10s, it's a 20 man fucking raid that is probably going to be tuned up on release. It should be blood sweat and tears with some damn sick loot that has exclusive things, maybe you can upgrade any purple to legendary with a raid seal, it's only once a day you get loot so it's not like you're pumping BIS but then 2 perkers become profitable again to sell on TP so addicts can gamble their daily raid seals into it lol.

Here is the previous post where I asked if it was okay to tell NK13 I was quitting before telling NPs because I wanted her to hear it from me. Mixed responses, but ultimately it didn't matter because I got fired! Hooray. Honestly, I'm not too upset about it, her parents are dreadful.
Sorry in advance, this is a LONG one. TL;DR: NF paid me a salary instead of GHs, didn't reimburse mileage, and started asking me to work more and more hours than originally agreed. Tensions built up over time, it all came to a head in the past month and things became pretty hostile. My car broke down 2 weeks ago, it's been in the shop ever since. I'd been borrowing my sister's car up until Tuesday, but she needed it back. I had no problem getting to and from work, my husband could drop me off/pick me up, but I had absolutely no option for a car yesterday for driving NK to her activities. I told NPs that I didn't have any realistic options and they asked me to rent a car. I stood up for myself, said not unless they were reimbursing me for the rental, and MB got pissed off and told me to just stay home. This is when I decided I needed to quit. DB got home today after work and fired me. He claimed it had nothing to do with my car breaking down or about the car rental thing (yeah right) but that it was just time for NK13 to no longer have a nanny. I think it's true that she doesn't really need a nanny anymore anyway, but you really can't deny that timing. They asked me to finish out the month, so at least I'll have some cushion until I can find a job.
Now let me tell you everything that led up to this moment... It's better if I give you some background info first. I have been a nanny for only a short while; I babysat and did some part-time nannying in the past, but I only became an actual full-time nanny in Dec. 2021. I started working for this NF in May 2022, so a little over a year now. I also have a young son - he's 3.5 now but was barely 2 when I started.
I found this family by looking on a local childcare Facebook group. NF's previous nanny was helping them look for a new nanny because she had to leave. She actually also had a young child, so it was a very similar situation. She was very specific in her post (I still have the screenshot, so I'm certain) that they were looking for a nanny willing to work long hours in the summer and shorter hours in the school year for G12, and since she is an older child, it's more of a house managefamily assistant type job. Summer hours start at 7:30am and can last as late as 7:30pm - schedule was very variable because they are both physicians and never really know when they were able to leave - but often she'd be relieved before then, sometimes as early as 3 or 4 pm. School year hours were much more flexible, Old Nanny (ON) said she'd get there around noon since G12 was in school. She did her house management tasks, picked her up from school, cooked her dinner, and would be relieved soon after.
When I reached out to Old Nanny to apply for this position, I was already a little desperate. My previous NF had just told me they were putting G2 in daycare and wouldn't need me, I had been looking for families that would be okay with me bringing my son and no one was interested in that. So I was getting very worried about paying bills and needed something ASAP.
After I interviewed, they said they wanted to pay me a salary. This should've been my first big red flag, but again, desperate. They explained they thought that was better than hourly because they would often come home much earlier than they planned and didn't want me to lose out on money. I essentially thought that it was basically just guaranteed hours, and since they got home early most of the time, there was no way they'd take advantage of me! (spoiler: they did)
The next should've-been-red flag was that they didn't want a contract because they're so easy and flexible and that they would always work with me if I was sick or needed time off. (spoiler: they didn't)
The thing is, I *knew* all of this wasn't okay and were huge red flags. But I was naive and thought that wouldn't be an issue for me and this new family that seems soooo amazing. (lol)
Anyway, moving on... The first several months seemed really great! I was getting along amazingly with NK, we were still getting to know each other, and I was still getting acquainted with the job, but MB just seemed...disappointed with everything. Most of the house management type stuff was really closer to personal assistant stuff for her and she is very nit-picky and micromanage-y. She'd tell me pretty much daily that I missed a hanger or two when organizing her closet. She wanted all her laundry to be done at all times (this woman goes through more laundry than anyone I know). She repeatedly told me I needed to tri-fold the towels (I was tri-folding!). She also had these insanely long to-do lists for the both of us. Since NK was only 12, I had to pretty much supervise her to make sure it got done. MB would even remind me to make sure I am helping her. So now I had my to-do list and also NK's to-do list to complete. Of course, this is all while caring for 2 kids, taking the 2 big dogs for long walks around the block several times a day (because I wasn't allowed to let them in the backyard to pee), feeding all of us breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and chauffeuring NK to all of her activities. Even in my 10-12 hour shifts, I wouldn't always get everything done because there was just so much to do. But if I even left something to finish the next day, MB would passive-aggressively point it out and ask for it to get finished (of course I'm going to finish it, there's no need to remind me ugh).
Oh and the best part!!!!! I never got reimbursed for mileage. I asked for it once the first month that I worked there and DB has the freaking audacity to be like "you mean from your house??" Bruh NO for all the driving you make me do to cart your child around! He ended up giving me like 5 bucks because I took her to the airport once and I never heard a word about it again. I know I should've insisted....but again, naive and desperate.
Moving on, MB started to truly show her helicopter parenting side. Some of you may or may not remember my post from last year asking if I was wrong to refuse to monitor G12's bathroom time. The consensus was that I was not wrong and it was super weird of her mom to ask that.
Later, I found out from some things NK said that led me to believe that they were homophobic. You can really see the denial in this one. Ugh.
As time went on, things seemed pretty normal for a while. There were a couple of times I needed time off. The biggest was when my husband had a mental health crisis and I ended up in the ER twice with him - which I only took like 2 days off for btw. MB sent me this really kind and heartfelt email saying she's thinking of us and hope everything is okay. I (stupidly) decided to be honest and tell her that it was mental health-related thinking that she'd have some empathy. After I replied, I heard absolutely nothing from them about it. Not a single question as to his well-being or anything. The others were just for regular illness. I had covid once, adenovirus another time, and hand-foot-mouth the most recent. My son started preschool, so I was sick often, but only took time off for the big ones.
Sometimes I had time off because they went on vacation, but would just they never tell me when they were going on vacation. Definitely strange, but speaks more to their disregard for other people than to the actual job itself.
During the school year, I stopped coming in at 7:30am like planned. It varied depending on what was on the schedule for the day, but I'd get in between 10am-noon most days. Again, just like the job was described to me. They never told me any differently either - keep in mind this was still earlier than Old Nanny used to arrive for the day, so I was really working more hours than she used to.
At Christmastime, I thought I'd get a bonus. That was something Old Nanny had mentioned, she said they gave pretty generous Christmas bonuses, so I was looking forward to that. I didn't get a bonus at all, not even a single mention of one. But I didn't say anything because I felt weird about asking for one. This is when I started thinking maybe I wasn't doing something right or that they didn't like me. I asked them several times if they thought I was doing a good job, if they had any feedback, etc, but always said no that I was doing a great job. I could tell MB probably didn't particularly like me but that seemed more just personality differences. She even stopped nit-picking the hangers and towels thing.
Last month, they forgot my birthday. This one really hurt, ngl. My birthday is right before NK's and we've all talked about it several times before.
Finally, the major conflict... This is when I really felt like things were tense and I should start putting feelers out there for a new job. MB asked me to clean and organize the playroom. Now that sounds pretty normal for a house manager, but this playroom was completely destroyed. They had just had NK's bedroom remodeled for her 13th birthday and there were boxes upon boxes piled high (most filled with styrofoam and packing peanuts). Plus they had some of her old furniture in there as well. Plus TONS of toys that she clearly hadn't played with in many many years. Boxes and boxes of half-used crafts, puzzles, barbies, legos, crayons & markers, a whole sewing kit, and tons of baby books on the bookshelf. The part that really killed me was that she wanted me to have the whole thing completed by Friday - so I only had 4 full days to complete the entire playroom (I have every Wednesday off). She even said that I could pack all the books and old toys up to take to Goodwill... She wanted me to carry them down 2 flights of stairs BY MYSELF and pack them in the car BY MYSELF and take them to Goodwill or to a used bookstore to sell. After going through all the initial boxes the first day, I almost broke down in tears when DB came home and told him I just couldn't do it all by Friday. It was too much. I'm just one person and I almost slipped and fell down the stairs when I tried lugging the vacuum cleaner upstairs by myself, there's no way I could do boxes of heavy-ass books. He seemed understanding and said it was okay, but I'm sure it was all fake.
Then my 1-year work anniversary was also last month. I thought this would be a great opportunity to discuss how things are going. I asked NPs if they had any feedback for me or if I could be doing anything different. I tried everything to get them to say ANYTHING, but all MB said was "Well, NK loves you!!" Not a single useful bit of feedback. I ended up bringing up the playroom and said that I felt like her expectations were sometimes a bit too high. I tried to say this as nicely as possible, but it did not go over well. She basically just said, "Well that's what I hired you for." I ended the conversation by asking for a raise because it's been a year now and my job description has really been changing and they've been adding more and more hours on. I asked for an additional $300/month, and they countered with $150.
That night, MB texted me and asked what time I planned on coming in the following Monday. NK was still in school, so I responded with "around 10 am." She called me at 7:30 am (!!!) the next morning and asked why I was going in so late... I said well NK is still in school and that's my normal time. She ended up laying into me claiming that's never what they agreed to, she thought this whole time that I was coming in at 8 am every day (lies), and that no wonder I couldn't get anything done because I came in so late. I was taken aback, to say the least. I don't do well on the spot like that and I started crying (I'm a crier, I hate it) and was like well that's not what I was originally told when I was hired and that they never told me any differently. Also, this is the first time I've heard about not getting anything done. She started telling me that she hired me because she wants the house to look perfect by the time she gets home and it never looks perfect. There's always something left undone and it's unacceptable that I'm not coming in earlier to make sure it gets done on time. I told her that this was all news to me and that she never told me that she was unhappy, even after I asked them specifically to give me feedback. She said she doesn't like confrontation or having hard conversations so that's why she never told me. Which is definitely not my problem, that's on her. But I was too emotional at this point to say that and I ended up apologizing even though I know I didn't do anything wrong. She ended the conversation by saying I am expected to put in a full 40 hrs year round (but really she wants me to be available 12 hrs a day in case they get stuck at the hospital) and that she'll try to be a better communicator.
OH one thing that really stood out to me was that she actually said to me that they pay me a lot of money and they want to make sure they're getting their "money's worth." As if I'm a product. I've never felt so inhuman. For the record, they do NOT pay me a lot of money. They paid me $3700/month before my raise, which equates to $28/hr for 30 hrs a week. Seems reasonable. But she wanted me to start coming in for a full 40 hrs even during the school year, which would effectively lower my hourly equivalent to $22/hr. Even lower if you're counting needing to be "on-call" 48 hrs a week. NOT enough for the job I was doing, and especially not for a HCOL area.
Now the straw that broke the camel's back. My car. My poor car broke down more than 2 weeks ago. It's been at the dealership this whole time (I still don't have it back, hopefully today) and I've been getting away with borrowing my sister's and BIL's cars to drive NK around. I would have loved to borrow my husband's car, but his car is a manual transmission and I can't drive stick. My sister needed her car back this week, so I was able to borrow it up until Wednesday, meaning I'd be without a car Thursday and Friday this week. Just 2 days out of the two weeks my car was getting repaired. Wednesday night I texted NPs asking if I could use DB's truck to drive NK, but he had taken it because he went out of town. MB needs her car each day. I ran out of options and told them I didn't have any other realistic options and wasn't sure what else to do. I reiterated that I could still get to and from work each day with no issue, just couldn't drive NK to her theater practice. Which honestly is such a minimal part of my day anyway. Well, I suppose that was unacceptable and MB asked me to rent a car. The audacity of this request really threw me off... I replied "Will this be reimbursed since it's a work-related expense? If not, then no, I do not have the funds to rent a car." She said "No, I'm not paying for a rental car. Just stay home and I'll figure it out." These people make $100s of thousands of dollars each year..... $120 for a rental car is practically an entire day's worth of pay to me, but just a drop in the bucket to them. Why she thought it was acceptable for me to spend my own money to rent a car, but ridiculous for them to, is beyond me. I sent a thumbs-up and never heard anything back from them.
The next day (yesterday) I knew I had to quit, which is what led me to my most recent post. I still haven't found a replacement job so I wasn't just about to quit then and there. But it ended up not mattering because DB asked to pull me aside before I left yesterday to fire me. I told him that I thought it was really unfair to ask me to spend my own money to rent a car but he said that it was part of the job and if you're unable to do the job, then it's my responsibility to fix the situation. I replied saying that they don't even pay me mileage so I'm already paying out of pocket to drive THEIR kid around. He said that if they'd known it was such a big deal beforehand that they would've let me use his truck more often (I did mention it, but probably should've pressed the issue). I told him that it was not like I wanted my car to break down... He said this ultimately had nothing to do with the car thing (yeah right lmao) and that it's just time for NK to no longer have a nanny. Which I completely agree with, but the timing dude. Also, I was hardly a nanny at that point anyway, just a housekeeper and chauffeur.
In the end, I think the real reason they decided to fire me is because I had the audacity to stand up for myself and ask for a raise. The car thing just accelerated it. There were definitely some personality differences and I don't think MB really liked me to begin with, but she put up with me because NK loved me. But as soon as I started realizing my worth, I became too much to deal with.
SO ANYWAY... Here we are today and I am absolutely kicking myself for putting up with this for so long. Luckily, my son is in preschool full-time now, so I will have a much easier time finding a new job. I've been looking into agencies as well. I'm kind of relieved but also really sad that I won't see NK every day anymore. She is a very special kid.

I have a 12 year old Honda with 270k miles on it, I have had it for five years and put almost 40k of those on it. It’s worth at BEST about 6k but I doubt I’d ever get that for it, and I just took it in to get it checked out and it has numerous issues - with 270k miles you can imagine the sort of stuff that’s wrong with it. Engine stuff - piston rings and oil pump O-rings, among several other big things. Overall the total cost of repairs (at the dealership shop) is around 8k, and that does not include wear items like tires, brakes, oil change etc. The car itself has never had any real problems until recently, and even the problems it has had has not impacted its reliability. I’m not exactly sentimentality attached to it, and I’m pretty sure I know what I’m going to do with it, but just wanted some unbiased professional advice. When is the cost of repairs too much to justify? Given the info I have said, what would you personally do in this situation? (Not including repairing it myself) Thanks!
