There's a new car in my future, is it an S60?

Hey guys, I'm doin an internship for this semester and with the money I earn I would like to buy a new car. I currently drive an 1992 Audi 100s. It's my first car (got it last summer) and it'll always have a special place in my heart but all the parts are just dying one by one. Since last summer, I've done a new tune-up, new power steering pump, new wipers, new trunk shocks, new brake pads and rotors, new radiator cooling fan, new headliner and I've spent a small fortune in little pieces like door handles plus oil changes and tire rotations. I wouldn't have minded spending the money if the car was running well but it's not. Like I said, this car will always have a special place in my heart but I'm going to need to part with it just because I don't think it's going to last.

Welcome..after your purchase budget you need another 1000-1500 to fix things that you find the PO neglected, typically.

Volvos are better than old Audis in cost of ownership but you have to do the work yourself.

Add tools and rental garage to the needs list
