Usually when people are down to their last $100 and missing payments some months, they are pretty close to no longer having a home. But if they know that someone can swoop in and prevent that from being their reality, they'll keep doing those habits in the face of all the good advice saying otherwise.

To be honest, I do feel like a large part of his decision to keep his CTR is to keep up with the illusion that he's doing okay.

And I think that's where the fallacy of all of us reassuring him that he's doing ok is actually doing more harm. Positive reinforcement can backfire.

You guys are a bunch of mean old uncles. He’s in his 20s!!
Of course he has to keep up appearances. Which one of you old geezers didn’t do that in your twenties ?!!
I still think he’s doing okay. This is majority of people in Vancouver nowadays anyways. Pay cheque to pay cheque. Dead end job. Paying for a very expensive house and car.
I’m such a coddler…

That said, I could probably get this Mini for 8K. It's sorted now, but then I'd always be scared about future maintenance. Quote:

Did you miss the first post of this thread? Let me remind you. I'm only alive because life insurance doesn't pay out on suicide.
It's like my whole thing about not modding before being good enough for the mods again.
However, out of the positivity, is learning to lean on my friends more. That was my take away. And I need therapy.

Dailying a nearly 28 year old car with 337000 km is not bad
I dont even think i’ve reached $10k in maintenance and repairs during 8 years of ownership
And you guys laugh at me for buying $120 fog lights for it

Mini is a terrible choice
Miata for sporty car
Or heck even a Lexus IS... I had 3 of them and never spent a dime on maintenance... can easily get a IS300 for $5-7k althouh they're not the greatest on gas

A Miata/86/IS can be had for a lot less than what the CTR is currently worth and by all accounts they're cheap to run and easy to work on. An Echo/Yaris/Fit is even cheaper and still going to be a laugh.
Anything needs maintenance but was the 40k into the 330 all DIY or were you paying shops to do it?

$40K on an E46 is all shop time, plus markup for OE parts.
Parts are pretty cheap, especially on RockAuto. It all depends on how much you value your time and whether or not you have a garage and the necessary tools/diagnostic equipment (INPA, etc.).
