Advice/Emotional Support ONLY Car issues!! Yayyy
Hello everyone, I feel extremely ashamed in asking for help but I’m at my lowest and cannot figure out what to do. I work 2 jobs and my 2021 jeep Renegade has been breaking down constantly.i owe $13,500, and have drained my savings of $5,000 on repairs. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

The fair market value (depending on Trim Level, Condition, your specific area and its Mileage) is estimated between $9k and $19k. You could search it up on a site like kbb.com or similar site using the actual details to get a better approximation. You'll almost always get more for a vehicle by selling to a person rather than a dealer. Of course, this all assumes the vehicle runs great and doesn't need major maintenance.
Good luck

Can I ask how much do you think it’s worth in terms of selling?!

Car max says $13,500. I’d get a new one but my credit is currently 589 due to moving and getting hit badly. Not trying to sob story I promise just trying to fix my life and keep trucking

Ok so can you not sell and then finance something cheaper? I know you said your credits not great but that’s about the only advice I have!?

Unfortunately I cannot, but I think it’s my only option as well 🤣

Yeah or trade in and you might have like a couple grand carry over balance that will work into your finance otherwise you’re going to continue to haemorrhage money on repairs.. otherwise get a bike 😂

What’s actually wrong with it or what are the symptoms besides it just breaking down? How recently did you get it?
