Well I dont know if Tires Plus has a good engine 'repair record' or not. Does anyone know? The warranty is 12 months/12K miles parts/labor. (The OEM parts are already at 11years/36K miles), and I was suppose to replace them at 5 years....so...they last a lot longer. I assume they all usually last well past 50K miles?, but thats the warranty on the box from Continental, and Tires Plus is 12K miles or 12 months on the labor.
I cant borrow the money, got no family at all, or friends, literally, none. So no one to even ask. The interest is like 20% percent on the card, but if/when the timing belt breaks, a new engine is MUCH more expensive to fix/replace, than the interest i would pay. I am not buying another car, I wont be able to get a car with this LOW mileage, and be sure of its past care, for a price I can afford, ...thats why i am thinking about doing this SO intently.
Where can i get a 2006 car, or MUCH newer, with 36K miles if this one dies/blows up on me because of the belt/pump isnt replaced? Nowhere. I am finally at the point I actually LIKE my Aveo. It is a simple car, it's actually reliable now, it isnt giving me problems, (past a dead battery), it looks great, not stuffed with power everything, to go bad on me, no payments, only the insurance is HIGH! So..thats it. But I am not enjoying my 'simple cheap car'. I should not be afraid to start it EVERY time. This one freaking thing is just to much to have hanging over my head for SO long. So...thats it.........others?
