<prompt> Human: Hi PF,I have a 2004 Hyundai accent with 128k miles on it, this car has been paid off for 5 years. The transmission blew up today, and its about 2400 to fix. I have the money to repair it in my savings account. There is nothing else wrong with this car, and its been quite reliable.The car is only worth 1800 best case scenario. My parents have a 2012 hyundai accent with 39k miles on it. They owe 7500 on it and would sell it to me for the payoff amount the car is worth about 10k according to KBB. I was thinking of putting down 4500 and financing 3k for this car.My final option would be to buy a new vehicle. All last year I was able to save about 700 a month on average according to my YNAB tracking. Im looking at a car in the 20,000 range, and I would put down about 5k.So should I repair my existing car, buy a car used from my parents, or buy a brand new car?On average, I drive 85 miles a day 4 days a week 340 miles a week. The repaired transmission would have a 1 year warranty on it.Thanks for any input anyone is able to provide.  <response>: All depends on who you talk to. Mr. Money mustache will say to never get a car on credit. I got tired of buying used craigslist cars that only lasted me a year at most 3 in a row and went out and bought a 2012. I find that is a good mix of price point and reliability. It also comes down to what you know and your abilities with vehicles. If you are sure that nothing else is due to break, I would get it fixed. Also account for gas, insurance, etc. Im no expert, just giving you my experience on the matter.
