My car -- so sad

[Leesa]

In 2002 I bought a car that I loved. It was exactly what I wanted and I could afford it. It's nothing fancy but it was perfect to me. It's been struggling the past few years. I've spent thousands and it still was a bumpy ride.

A few weeks ago I got stranded on the freeway and had to be bumped off by highway patrol. After a trip to the shop, it still doesn't run well.

My finances are tight since I'm alone and don't make much. I've found a car that I'm getting but I'm unhappy. There's nothing wrong with the car except that there is a payment and it does nothing for me even though it's a popular car.

The reality is there is absolutely no car on the market that I want. Even if money was no objective. Turning my car in in killing me and I've cried all week.

Leesa, I'm sorry for you, I have the same situation in my life
It's not a pleasant prospect, especially when there is history with a vehicle,
so many hours of windshield time, and years of dependence on transportation
I hope yours will resolve for you, with as little disruption to your life as is possible

peace

It's understandable that you've got strong feelings about your car, especially if you've had it for a long time.

I hope everything will be ok.

Hugs

Over 20 years. It hasn't hurt me in the way people have, except to the wallet.

❤️ It's also indicative that I'm getting older. This is a coupe and the new one is a standard car. This will be my first 4 door car. I know that's kind of weird. My car was really intended to have one passenger and transport dogs at the most. There is still some fur from my beloved dogs who have passed. It's not that I knew this wasn't coming, but I thought I'd have more options and more time to process. If I had a garage and could afford to keep it, I would so I could process things. But, I can't afford insurance on two cars and I have a parking space, not a garage.

Difficult - we all love something (I loved my acoustic guitar - and it cannot be replaced... was unique and appr. 100 years old).

The transfer has happened. I bawled at the dealership. They said my car had reached the end of its life.

It's been 8 days. I'm still so sad. I can't afford this new car and feel angry with those that convinced me to buy it. Major buyer's remorse going on here

I panicked. I got persuaded. Now one worry has turned into a different worry. My therapist asked if I could get a 2nd job to pay for it. I can barely function enough to do the job I have. My days off are spent at doctor appointments so I'm not sure of the thought process.

I understand just take it day by day
