How many miles on your car, how often do you use your car, and do you live in a city where you can walk/bike/public transit/Zipcar to most destinations? This will help in providing advice.

Without knowing this info and as others have suggested, find a local non-dealer mechanic to provide a quote for the catalytic conv costs as well as do a general check to determine what else you might need over the next 2-3 years. If it’s just the converter, get it fixed, pay off the car and enjoy the no car payment/lower insurance premium life!

131k Daily or at least 5 days out of the week.

My city has public transportation but it’s incredibly unreliable and I’d have to walk close to miles to the closest bus stop.

My job is about 10-15 miles away and it wouldn’t be a safe walk due to lack of lighting and sidewalks.

I’m currently doing more research and I am meeting with a mechanic on Wednesday
