mod the accord or dump it?

You know I recently have decided to let my jeep go. I am tired of making payments. If you plan to buy a car out right that is good. But if you plan on financing a vehicle weigh all of that out first before you decide. Will the extra money in paying interest out way the fuel costs of your current honda. Also if it is financed you will more than likely have to carry full coverage witch will cost more to. If it is a newer car the tags will cost more also. If you are dumping a lot of money in repairs in your honda each month to keep it on the road I would get rid of it. But if nothing is wrong with it I would keep it.

a little post update. I have been at 24.2 mpg average for the last 3 tanks. the fuel leak when topped off has kept me from filling up last few times though. At 4.15 a gallon fuel leaks get pretty expensive!!!

in response to-

SentraSE-R; slowing down would help alot and it is the most cost effective modification but i just can't seem to find a wrench yet that fits the loose nut behind the steering wheel

MPGKing; it will be bought outright. I've given banks way to much of my money as-is.

CFG83; unfortunantly the drivers seat has started to break down and is getting uncomfortable. I'll be looking for a replacement seat soon.

Hip001; A TDi beetle would be great... If i had 5000$ to put on it. I had a '00 1.8t beetle 5spd and that car was a blast. and screw all the haters who say "girls car"

thanks so far guys. talk to you later
