Hallo…
At what mileage did you guys start having major repairs like the transmission, engine, or battery? I just replaced the front brake pads at 86,000 miles on my 2018 Kia Forte LX.
I’m trying to figure out if I should just pay off the $8,500 I still owe or think about getting a new car, maybe even a lease. I’ve had the car for 3 years, and the idea of no car payments and cheaper insurance sounds awesome, but I’m also worried about paying it off and then having it break down soon after.
What would you do in my situation? Any advice or similar experiences would be great!
In anticipation…
