Trade it in or keep it?
Background: Currently driving a 2018 Audi A4 quattro that I bought from a family friend (it was a steal) and it currently has around 107,000 miles. I just got it out of the dealer shop for 4,000 dollars worth of repairs a month ago, new brakes, rotors, and a transmission fluid flush. I know what y'all are gonna say you should've gone to an independent shop and yes you're right, I made a mistake, I don't know a good independent shop around me so I felt like I didn't have the choice at the time, stupid decision. Anyways starting a few weeks ago there's been a clunking noise every time I'm turning left and I really don't want to spend an arm and a leg to fix it.
I'm thinking about getting a 2023 kia forte GT with a little under 20k miles, I was just wondering if you all thought this would be a good decision down the road regarding financials and overall fun with the car (I know its not the most reliable car out there, but I want to have fun and reliability for around 20,000 dollars lol). Just wanting to see what you all thought of this reliability wise and if this would be a good financial decision. Thank you! :))
