and my daily commute is 130kms.

The car has 3 doors. It's engine is small. The cambelt hasn't been done for years.

How long before it conks it?

And then, who is going to buy me a new car?

Cambelts are usually changed at about 120000kms, and if it goes then that will cost you a new engine.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

You could always steal a car.

Works for about 25% of the Hawkes Bay population!

I say run it till it drops, and take the $100 for scrap.
Recently I "upgraded" to a car with less kms thinking that it would be a bit more reliable but it hasn't stopped costing me $$ since.
