My vehicle has 117,000 miles on it had 43,500 when i bought it (i know stupid wasn't i) it was my first vehicle.i know a car is not suppose to last forever, but dam does it have to cost so much to try and keep it running until it dies.please help me with any information you may have to assist me in this matter.
