<prompt> Human: Hey guys, so let me explain my situation a little. My gf and I just moved to Ohio in Sept. and we bought a used car for 5500 cash. We got it inspected before buying and everything. Now fast forward to present day, we have had issue after issue with this vehicle and have spent over 1000 in repairs and it STILL needs more and something new breaks every day. Id love to get my hands on the inspector and choke him out, but since thats not an option we are looking to get a newer used car. Problem is, I havent had a paycheck since Sept. as Im as student currently. However I do get a military disability pension that equals what most peoples paycheck in the area does. My credit score is around 682. My gf has a fast food job and earns about 9.25 but is getting a promotion soon to 10.25 woohoo -__-. Shes never had an auto loan before. So as you can see, Im a bit stuck. I have decent credit, but no job yet anticipating starting a new one in the next few weeks but I do get a decent disability income. My gf has a job, but not enough income but good credit. What are our options? Does cosigning even help at this point? Assistant: A lot of times a few repairs in a row can make a decent car feel like a horrible investment. What kind of car is it? Year and miles? What needs to be fixed at this point?Human: 2001 Subaru Outback. Ive already replaced the throttle position sensor, the serp belt shredded itself after a pulley failed, causing another to fail and now my AC pump just went out because of it. So I replaced the two pulleys and belt, but since its winter Im leaving the AC pump for now. Mechanic said the alternator might go next. Theres an oil leak from the engine valve cover 2000 to replace. The brakes are on the fritz, Ive seen then myself they are bad. Needs new tires. Theres also an exhaust leak. Can everyone see why I want to get rid of this thing NOW. Im already over my head with it.Assistant: How much oil does it leak? Its not worth much of anything now, Id drive it until it dies. Is it the valve cover gasket or the actual valve cover itself? 2000 seems like too much but I dont know anything about Outbacks.Human: well I put 5500 into it and I need to trade it in or sell to get something out of it. Driving it until it dies gets me nothing. Assistant: Whats wrong with the brakes and how much to fix them?Human: Previous owner let it sit for 3 years which I didnt know until after I bought it, and in Ohio when something sits it rusts out, so all the brakes are almost completely rusted out, so rotors, pads, everything. I think itll be 1,200 total after labor.  <response>: You can have rotors resurfaced is necessary, and brake pads are cheap and easy to install. Would be WAY less than 1200. Honestly the amount of repairs needed isnt that bad. Plus you can look up how to do almost anything on youtube and just try to DIY. Valve cover gasket isnt that bad to replace, you can do it. Plenty of tutorials. You can even fix a blown head gasket pretty easily with a specific product.
