I found out today that my 2005 Civic needs to get a completely new AC system for $2400. Thought about just driving w no AC but the mechanic says the AC system shares a belt w the transmission(?) so if I don’t get this repair done, there’s a chance the car might get locked up and not start at some point.
I am torn bc this car is paid off and in otherwise good condition at 136,000 miles but that’s a lot of money to put into a 18-year-old car. And I think it needs a new timing belt soon too. Would it be better to get a slightly newer used car, like a 2011 Honda for like $12k? I could probably pay cash for that amount.
