Replying to: euphonium (Jul 13, 2009 9:45 am) I often tell people to add up and average 12 to 24 months of repair bills, and if that monthly average equals 1/2 of the cost of a new car monthly payment, or even lease payment, (+ lease cap reduction costs) it's really time to bail out. So if you're pumping $300 a month into that old luxo-barge, maybe that's not a good idea anymore. The last half of a car's long life is rarely the best half.
