My 2014 Hyundai Sonata is about ready to bite the big one. I will not be getting another car for a while. The nearest bus stop to my apartment is just under a mile away, and my knees are shite. I’m looking at getting a motorized scooter to jet me up the sidewalkless stretch of road I live on to the bus stop, then commute in to work. I work for the city, so I have a free bus pass.

It’s gonna suck for a while, but I don’t have any better options.

2014?? My Nissan Primera from 96 is still running fine. Check with a mechanic if its possible to resurrect your car. It should hold for longer.
Truthfully, it’s not worth it. It had an engine replacement a few years ago, and lately, I’m racking up repair bills faster than I can pay them off.
