If the car is in good shape and has little/no damage, then it's cheaper to fix the car rather than buying a new one. If you buy used, you still won't know exactly what could be wrong with that car too.
Thats what happend in my case. I can't afford a new car cause of my house pymnt, so i'm fixing this one.
If you want a good rebuilder, i recommend Joe at
sales@6thplanetusedparts.com . He knows his stuff and will tell you that straight out.
