$1,730?!?!?!

Well my “new” car (a 2002 Subaru Forester I bought last year) just failed inspection and needs $1,730 worth of repairs (well, $1,400 if you only include the leaking head gasket that needs to be replaced to pass inspection, but there is several other things that need to be done and might as well get done now).

This sucks.

    That’s insane! I would definitely lose it if my 2003 Toyota Corolla require those kind of repairs.

    Did you get a second opinion on that?

    Yep and the quote was close enough that it wasn’t worth going with (the $1730 place also is giving me a loaner car and won’t charge for another inspection).

    Alright, that makes sense.

    It stories like these that make me realize I need to build an emergency fund.
