Please tell me I don’t need a new car
I’ve got a 2017 KIA Sportage AWD LX I’ve had it for just over 3 years(it was all I could afford straight out of college). Bought it with 52k miles on the clock and am sitting at 83k currently. Engine blew at 64k and got it replaced at the dealer at no cost to me due to the Theta II Lawsuit. Ever since then I pray it’ll start every time. Over all I take pretty damn good care of the car change oil every 3-5k, did the breaks and rotors, transmission flush and both front and rear differentials fluids recently. Doing the spark plugs this week as well once they come in the mail from OEM. And according to the car fax when I bought it the previous owner took pretty good care of it as well.
The car hasn’t had any other issues other than the engine seizing up and needing replacing. But ever since then I’ve been thinking of a new(er) car and switching to Honda or Toyota. But I’m also very happy with the idea of no car note in about 9 months. I keep telling myself to just put money away once it’s paid off and have a couple years of no loan but I keep thinking of the idea that it won’t last much longer.
Honestly just wanting to rant.
