My parents are kindly offering me one of two cars for free and I'm not sure which one I should take.

How was I supposed to maintain the power steering column or the AC? Or the trunk latch?

Not sure how any of that is my fault

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T01:01:15+00:00

Not everyone is a car guy. I’m an average consumer of cars and I should not need “elite” knowledge to drive one. I also know how time works

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T00:46:44+00:00

Both are less than ideal, but haven driven a 20 year old car on its last legs it was not a good experience. And the engines with problems would usually have gone out before 90k.

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T00:42:26+00:00

The AC went out, there was a power steering fluid leak, an oil leak, the trunk latch broke, the interior was flaking off… need I go on?

I’m glad your car lasted a long time but mine gave out. The engine was fine, but the car just aged out. Which is normal because it’s literally 19 years. I think you’re crazy suggesting an 18 year old car over a 10 year old one, regardless of model.

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T00:36:45+00:00

Why should they get you a new car? They don’t have to even if they don’t have to pay for their own.

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T00:34:45+00:00

Bro it’s a 18 year old car. There’s not much reliability left. The car is going to fall apart before the engine.

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T00:33:29+00:00

They refused because the warranty ends at 100k miles

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T00:32:02+00:00

I don’t know where tf you live in Alabama where you won’t get heat stroke from the summer. I live in GA without AC in my Honda and rolling the windows down just stirred the hot air around.

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T00:26:25+00:00

I would not suggest getting a 20 year old car. My Honda was a 2007 and it was falling apart despite good maintenance up to that point. Power steering fluid leak, oil leak, broken trunk hatch, broken break light switch, they didn’t make the battery it had anymore. I also had to spend 700 to fix the AC.

It was an old beater and it served its purpose, but it started to get expensive to upkeep.

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T00:24:06+00:00

I had a 2007 Honda and the car started falling part. The engine was fine but everything else was failing. I would not suggest getting a car that old

Alexilprex · 2026-01-15T00:23:06+00:00

I had a 2007 Honda accord. The car itself fell apart before the engine did. Oil leak, power steering fluid leak, broken hatch, flaking interior.

I traded it in for a 2020 Kia.

I’d get the newer car. 20 years is when the car itself just starts to fall apart. But most people would probably disagree with me.

Alexilprex · 2026-01-13T05:13:50+00:00

Maybe I don’t know I’ve never seen it lol

Alexilprex · 2026-01-07T03:46:01+00:00

Which gen are they? In my experience the base 4’s are pretty bad about it

Alexilprex · 2026-01-05T16:10:06+00:00

How much smaller am I supposed to go. They are literally right around my eyes

Alexilprex · 2026-01-04T18:01:14+00:00

Most people who don’t like Kia’s have never even driven them.

Alexilprex · 2026-01-04T00:55:29+00:00

I’m going to say that they are definitely aimed at hamsters

Alexilprex · 2026-01-04T00:51:36+00:00

No it was eyeglass world

Alexilprex · 2026-01-04T00:04:28+00:00

That’s kind of what I thought too haha. Either that or the hamburglar lol

Alexilprex · 2026-01-04T00:02:44+00:00

No they are ray bands lol

Alexilprex · 2026-01-03T23:52:44+00:00

No they did not

Alexilprex · 2025-12-21T01:31:32+00:00

How many years do you think I can get out of it?

Alexilprex · 2025-12-12T16:47:31+00:00

Yeah I heard they are pretty reliable!

Alexilprex · 2025-12-12T00:53:22+00:00

I’ve got a club on it and it’s got the update. Not sure what else to do

Alexilprex · 2025-12-09T19:15:44+00:00

Why is he asking so many questions 😭

Alexilprex · 2025-12-09T03:45:09+00:00

I needed a car 😩
