If you’re looking at electric, I’d go hybrid instead. No range anxiety, and you can just refuel and go. Plus, hybrids tend to be cheaper than full EVs.
That said, I get wanting something newer. At the end of the day, it’s about what makes sense for you.
I spent $6,000 fixing my car one year because I really loved it. Then I wrecked it six months later. No regrets. It all depends on your budget and whether you want to keep this car or move on.
