<prompt> Human: Found out today my car about 4k USD on bluebook is gonna need about 3k in repairs. OUCH. The car is drivable, barely. So, I think Ill ditch it, sell it as a mechanics special. I have driven 13k miles in the past 3 years but spent 4250 on repairs in that time; 110 per month on repairs. Plus gas and insurance car is paid for my TCO is probably 300month.I live in a city and take mass transit to work, which is paid for by work. I am just curious if anyone else has been in my situation and decided to just put that money into Uber or car2go instead. I feel like the convenience factor of having a car isnt all that great when an Uber is typically 4 minutes away every time Ive called an uber, its been 4 minutes.Did you ditch your car? How did it go? How much do you typically spend in a month on car services?  <response>: As with many things, the answer depends. In this case it depends on the city that you are in, the distance that you drive, your general lifestyle, etc etc.That said, we my wife and I did this recently and are currently relying on transit which is good, but not covered by either of our employers, Car share programs, and the odd weekend car rentals.Just wrapped up the math and our current conveyance expenses comes in around USD 275-300.I would personally advice against becoming super reliant on a taxi service e.g. Uber because you are really at someone elses pricing mercy.Edit: We do save on a few costs that could rapidly add up if we were to own a car e.g. downtown parking, fuel etc.Edit 2: We also found that our ad hoc drives have come down close to zero. This does mean that we dont go out of home all too often. Which can be a mixed bag.
