~135,000 miles on it right now. For reference: it's on the fourth set of all-season tires, second battery (about to be third), second set of brakes, second rear shocks, second rear sway bar links, second CV axles, second rack and pinion, and now second front lower control arms, front sway bar links, and front shock assemblies.
My 2012 Mazda5 needs new lower control arms and front shocks. I got quotes from several shops and it'll be about $1,700 for parts and labor. As a trade-in, the car is worth $2,000.
Should I keep it and fix it?
Or trade it in on a new car?
