I currently have a 95 accord, I have already put alot into this car (stereo, tune ups, ect). It has a few dents and dings, and needs a little body work ( somone hit my fender, small baseball sized dent) It wouldnt cost more than a few hundred to fix up the body..
Or should I save up and get a new-ish car (2002-2007ish) ??

If it has no mechanical problems and you can afford to make a car payment to yourself just put 3 or 4 hundred in the bank every month. This way, if you keep driving the Honda and it does croak on you you'll have the cushion to get a newer car or atleast put a down payment on one, all while getting the most you can out of the car you have.

Cars are a depreciable item, don't put any money in it, keep driving it right into the ground. Then when it is time to get a new car, don't buy a new car, but a used car a few years old, let the new car purchaser take the big depreciation hit on a new vehicle. Who really cares if your car has a dent in it, don't be so self concious. Also, drop the collision and comprehensive insurance on it if you have that, it is too old a car to insure.

It depends on what's worth it to you, do you like the look of the 95 Accord? Personally I've taken bowel movements that I could have sworn had a close resemblence to the 95 accord.
A decent respect to prudence and the laws of thermodynamics should tell you to get a newer car, but it's by no means expensive to keep it going unless you get in a few crashes, so if you like the car, keep it, if you don't have any feelings for it, get something else.

Congratulations. no longer understanding the finished image, i'm guessing you do not have plenty savings. Your transportation is likewise in all probability significant. trip on your babies won't be a concern in case you have been out of artwork for a on an identical time as. yet possibly a cutting-edge is. some version of here: you are able to sense forced to tithe. Take the relax 50% and positioned it in a savings account of varieties, CD some thing the place you make funds for motor vehicle upkeep etc. purely isn't plenty yet its some thing. and don't touch it. as long as you have it you have have been given some thing. Take 30% and purchase a pre-owned intense high quality motor vehicle. some thing new that fee $30k you need to purchase 7 years previous for $10 ok or much less. (sell your motor vehicle) purchase Japaneese. The commerce fee is greater advantageous and that they are greater advantageous vehicles. Infiniti's are super. as quickly as you have dealt with those considerable products, you and your loved ones pass out for an costly dinner and are available to a determination a thank you to spend some thousand funds. teach them the linked fee of a dollar. Budgets etc. some version of this could stretch that $19k.

You didn't mention how many miles, but, if you have time, go and test drive awhile check out some possobilities. I got a good on a used car, one tear old from a budget car lot. It had 25,000 on it but was well maintained and a lot cheaper than the brand new version. Just take your time and don't hurry .Ask yourself also, how much will you have to spend on a newer car if it needs a new stereo.

you better get a new car, it is really worthless to spend money on the old car. I did it before too, at the end i sold my car with a very low price. The reason i sold it because engine, wiring, etc etc got problem. Beside i felt unsecure when i travelling long deistance. Listen to me.. cahnge car...

a 95 accord can't possibly last much longer. i'd opt for something newer.
