I love my Camaro (2017 2LT RS V6 50th Anniversary) but it is becoming very costly car to just keep up basic maintenance . Big costs so far:

HID Headlight $375
New Tires. Tires bald after only 17,000 miles never driven in winter or on long trips) 4 tires $1000.00
Past Summer Curb Rash repair for 2 wheels $ 500.00.
Unfortunately, it happened again on one wheel today. Not quite as bad as the first time but, still a concern . Trying to find a low cost temp fix.
I have been think of selling my Camaro. I'm retiring soon and I cannot afford to keep putting in thousands of dollars into my expensive toy. (I do enjoy my camaro)

Any suggestions for a replacement sedan maybe a new or one that is one or two years old replacement ? I am not looking for a luxury or a sport coupe in the Camaro class. Maybe like a Honda Accord. Too bad non of the US Car companies have sedans anymore.

Honestly a Camry or Sonata or even a K5 are good cars. They're reliable as all get out, comfy,a nd efficient.

I'd honestly not even think twice about a Prius V, amazing cars - so useful and roomy.
