Took the car in for repairs because one of the brakes was making a grinding noise.

Disaster, estimate damage - $2000

sniff

2 brakes, 2 rotors, 2 valves, 2 belts, 1 oxygen sensor, 1 oil leak and 1 Tire Rim Repair.

I'm hoping this car will last another 4-5 years. Then I can afford to get a different one. Probably one that is only 3-5 years old.

If it only lasts 2 years, I'll probably have to finance the car..... more debt.
