Why are cars so expensive to maintain?
4 months ago
I'm sure you're all tired of my tangents, so I'll try and keep this one short for you. I'm happy to report that my second job has officially started and seems to be going well so far. It's leaving me to work every day of the week, but the extra income is helpful. But my rotten luck strikes again as my car is in dire need of repairs. It's due for a full inspection, needs an oil change, coolant is leaking... Even with the added income, this isn't something I can cover on my own on such short notice.
I'm doing everything I can on my end to reduce my expenses even further to save up a quick buck. But with the addition of my second job, I no longer have spare time to utilize my side gig. So I'm afraid I have to turn to you, the community, for help. I don't have a price estimate since there's so much to be done all at once. But it's expected to cost a few hundred USD to cover everything, even the immediately needed repairs. If you're able and willing to help out, I would very much appreciate it. I need this to be done soon. I don't even wanna imagine what'll happen if this car gives out because I can't repair it.

tbh, i feel they made them cheap enough so anyone can buy them, but built in such a way that people have to continue paying for repairs, permits and insurance to keep everything moving. Another clue is that public transport tends to be poor because of that
