<prompt> Human: Hey rpersonalfinance, I need some help. Today was a very unlucky day because someone broke into my car messed up my steering column. Now this wouldnt be a big deal considering its a used car.However: This is my third car within a year. My first car1996 chrysler concorde, was hit in the side was totaled back in August. My second car2007 ford taurus se, which I bought for 1300, someone stolen the title as a result cant register it. Now were on my third car. While I do have insurance, Im afraid that the car I currently have will be declared total I live 20 miles away from work. What are my best options? Should I repair it? Or should I junk it? It has a mileage of 120,350, which is good considering the car is a 1999 chrysler 300m  <response>: Those old Chrysler LH cars reached hoopty status a long time ago. Id say you could easily find a replacement on Craigslist or wherever, but nowadays I think almost all are in a junkyard or have met their fate in the crusher.If you can get it fixed for a couple hundred, and the car is a good running car with no major problems, I say have it fixed. If the car is falling apart, or its expensive to fix, let it go. All comes down to economics, like most car repairs.
