car choice planning

[pineappledaydreams]

Fix up my old buick 2000 and use it till it does, ive put 210k miles on it.

Get a new car after house purchase.
Inlaw is a finance manager for dodge chrysler and jeep dealership.

Should I go with him or a car I really want?

Used hyundai genesis or acural rl 2010 models both

Or chrysler 300 or dodge challanger from him?

I know he'll break his back to help me out.

What would you do?

My mechanic says for 500 he can make the buick run like new again.

Not really concerned with terms rates or anything of that sort. Just reliability

I just got rid of my 1999 Chevy Malibu with 145K on it due to issues I had. ABS light on,tail pipe fell off,airbag light on,check engine light on etc... I don't suggest getting rid of your current vehicle unless you have to. The poor MPG I got and due to many issues is the reason i got rid of my car. If your mechanic is trust worthy and can fix it "like new" for $500 and it's been a reliable car for you for a couple years i'd suggest paying the repairs and keep driving it till something MAJOR happens like engine or transmission etc... especially if you plan to buy a house soon.

The in law can probably order any used vehicle you want.
