Q: Keep trying or get another
So my car is overheating and I have tried different mechanics and processes to try and figure what exactly is wrong. They do not seem to be working so I was thinking I could get another car, and sell mine. Of course I would love to fix my car but I'm a college kid so I don't have the time or money to be wasting. I was thinking of getting another JDM type car, something like an Acura RSX or Integra. If I do go that route which JDM car would be a good fit. Daily driver, but cheap enough for me to be able to do minor modifications to?
My car has 169000 miles.
