Falling apart!

My current 18 year old Proton Saga car is falling apart. In the past one year, we average between RM200-300 every month to fix the car:
  • shock absorber
  • 2 driver shaft
  • air-cond belt
  • a crashed bumper
  • 4 new tires
This week, the air cond broke and according to the mechanic the whole air cond system (compressor, motor, fan, pipes) needs to be changed and will cost RM1045! I was in tears when I heard that. It was so ridiculous, we try so hard to save and end up spending on the car. After some talking, we decided not to fix it but just spend the money on a new car.

I feel sad to need to depart from our car, it's actually a nice car to drive if it was not all the fixing (considering the age). The body of the car is also more solid compare to the new proton saga. What to do, need to part with the old so that the new can come in.

Actually it is a good idea to get a new car. Save you all the stress of fixing, which is also a waste of time, plus, then no need to worry about the car breaking down middle of the highway, middle of the night.

Take care, my dear.
