Hey, so I've got a car problem for you guys. A little bit under two years ago, I purchased a diesel F-250 for around $8,200 that I've been using to run my small handyman business. And this thing has just been giving me so much trouble over those last two years. Over the last two years, I've spent $7,800 on top of that in maintenance. I know, quite a bit.

And it's kind of been getting out of control more recently to where now I need another probably $1,500 to fix this thing and get it moving again. So what I'm asking is how you would kind of handle the situation if you're me.

This is starting to now affect my clients to where I'll have to push off my schedule a little bit because I don't have the truck up and running and that's costing me money there. And I can't continue to keep paying, you know, 325 a month in maintenance. And that number is, you know, kind of growing at this point. So I'm just wondering, I know you guys are against leases.

I don't exactly have the money to buy a new car. I also really don't want to go down this road again and put, say, 10, 15K into a truck and then just end up buying a truck with all kinds of issues. I mean, this last time I did take it to a mechanic, have him check it out beforehand, and he kind of okayed it. But I don't know much about cars. Cars are not my forte.

I've kind of gotten killed over this whole thing, to be honest.

So I've had it for probably 22 months. I believe I bought it in July about two years ago. The truck had 139,000 miles when I bought it. It's right around 150,000 miles now. So I live in kind of a small beach town community and most of my jobs are not too far. So I don't put crazy miles on this thing each year.
