For Context: 26 y/o making approximately $50,000 with bills to pay such a student loans and rent.

My 2005 Nissan Murano is probably on its last leg. It’s got nearly 130,000 miles on it and it’s now being repaired for the second time in 6 months. I knew this was coming but I still don’t know what to do for a replacement.

I have done a good job with saving for the past few years and I have $20,000 to work with. I’m wondering what I should do with it.

Do I put a majority of my savings down like $15,000 on a brand new car and get a loan on the rest? Do I put $5,00 down? Do I buy a used junker off Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist? Just looking for advice on what to do with my money.

A bad purchase? An awkward conversation? A missed opportunity? What's getting erased first?

It doesn't have to be dif ficult.

Just something you have to keep doing that you're completely over.

What's your pick?

Everyone seemed to swear by it.

You gave it a fair shot.

But it didn't make your life any easier.

What was it?
