Im just lookin for some advice, thinking about it i should probably get a new car concidering to fix everything is probably well over 1,000 dollar range...
well the reliability ratings i have seen of the cars is very high. Take each repair as needed. The check engine light could be anything and could be something as minor as the gas cap not on right. Comes down to personal decision.
