When the paint began to peel, I chose not to repaint the vehicle due to cost. When the transmission failed, I chose not to repair it due to the cost to repair. When the cruise control stopped working, I chose not to repair due to the cost to repair. If I get the transmission fixed, I intend to have the airbag fixed as well.
