Picking parts to pass inspection!

8/5/2013

Did you ever get a rejection sticker on your car's inspection?  Keeping your car safe can be expensive.

I have an older car, 2000 Acura with 180,000 miles on her.  The car has been paid off for years and I certainly don’t miss making monthly payments.  So the other day I’m getting my oil changed and the mechanic mentions that my car won’t pass inspection because of a bad tire.  Not to mention my car mirror got knocked off by some hit and run jack wagon.

Now I gotta get the tire fixed and a new side mirror. $145 for the tire installed and balanced and $125 for the mirror.  $270 bucks to pass the inspection!  I’m all for driving safe a safe car but $270 is a lot of money.  

My frugal brother heard about my car inspection situation and suggests visiting a Junk Yard.  So I did , and to my surprise I was able to acquire a used tire and side mirror assembly for $90.  The best part of my story is that I was able to find a mirror with the exact same color as my car!  SCORE!
