In my experience it has always been cheaper to replace appliances vs getting them repaired. This way you get a whole new warranty.

fingers crossed that wont be the case, but i'm not optimistic. Basically it'll cost $40-$100 for the initial inspection. It's not ideal but seems like a reasonable gamble.

you also only where socks 3 times before throwing them out.
and you are just waiting for your Mazda to break so you can buy your GTR
*grin*
good for you! too many people just throw shit out and buy new shit.
but, a lot of modern electronics don't lend themselves to being "fixed" sometimes you need a new board and it's not like the repair guys can just order it.
electronics manufacturers are literally making disposable products because consumers demand lower prices. however this crap doesn't lend itself to being repaired.
that being said, i can't wait till my fridge craps out. it's probably 20+ years old and is so fucking loud.
Ok guys I guess I should have been more specific. I maintain a few fridges at our institute and in most cases the repair is over $200 when you factor in parts and labor. At home depot which is right across the street, I can get basic fridges for 3-500 dollars depending on sales and options. Thus I felt it was more cost effective to purchase a new high efficiency fridge rather than try to keep maintaining an older one.

That's a fridge where people keep their lunch, not a home fridge. A decent fridge in your home will cost you upwards of $2k - that's one with a water filter, crushed/cubed ice, PROPER crispers etc. etc.
oddmyth has a pretty first world definition of a "fridge" haha
I bought a fridge last year for 500$ that had everything but the water, crushed ice options. crispers etc were all very nice, tons of space and options to move place things, HUGE freezer etc.
IMO 2k on a home fridge is not the starting cost for ' most ' people.
fuck i bought 5 quite reliable and solid appliances for just over 2k at the brick![]()
