I'm just stealing my wife's Jeep Renegade this winter!
That sucks but cheap/high mileage cars are a gamble like that. Having a 'winter beater' that you're not confident is reliable just isn't worth it to me. When it comes to a second car I'd rather buy something that I'll be happy about when not in the Z vs just getting any cheap car. Last thing I want is to get stuck in the winter because I bought a crap car
