<prompt> Human: Preface;Im a college senior living on campus away from home. No car needed up here right now.I have 10,000 in the bank.My car was being used back home and has ran into some mechanical issues.Its 1996 Saturn. 115k miles on it.Both control arms, a sway bar, and the muffler need to be fixed. Along with a front end alignment. The car is not drivable right now since the one sway bar snapped.Total cost; 800.I live in the Detroit area so if I stay there I will need a car upon graduation.I am looking for jobs in NYC and Chicago as those are bigger hubs for my future profession.I had planned on possibly getting a newer car 2012-2013 ish if I stayed in Detroit upon graduation as Ill have a bit more funds by then.Do I get it fixed or scrap it to a junk yard who will give me 350?I believe the value is like 1200 on it if its all fixed and running. Assistant: Fix your car, I learned the hard way that its better to get a junker fixed up while you save up until you can purchase a decent car outright. Generally if a car is available for less than 10,000 youre probably gonna run into issues with it, and for a car worth more than 10k youre probably still wanna get the warranty with it.Human: Fair point. Its just a hard call for me since Im not the one driving it at home my sister is car-less and uses it to get to work and back so what if the motor shits before I get home to use it? Or if I get a job in say, NYC where I wouldnt have a car?Itd be shitty to waste 800 on a car I wouldnt be able to even useAssistant: I wouldnt repair or replace YOUR car until YOU need it. Human: I wouldnt be replacing it until after school. But repairing it route would be now, since where we live, its kinda hard to have a car just sit.Original plan was drive it for my first 2 months of work assuming I stay in the Detroit area and then sell it and use some of my money from working to buy a newer car  <response>: If your sister is the one driving it, she should be paying for repairs no? Since shes the one putting mileage in it, and youre being a good brother by letting her use it.It sounds like she owes you these repairs.
