@BunSnoop You might consider trading in both cars for a newer model that does have the indicators.  Not so much for knowing tire pressure, oil change recs, but for the piece of mind of something under warranty and more reliability.

Agree.  And I would also consider leasing a car.  We leased our Honda for 3 years and oil changes were included as well as routine maintenance. Of course, the payments are ongoing but the peace of mind was worth it for us.  I know if I were in your position that is what I would do.

If you can find an honest and reliable local business to do your service, that is your best bet. I was able to do this and it is so much better than using the dealership. They saw an older lady when I came in and said I needed things repaired or replaced that really were fine. The local man has been a game changer for me. Good luck.

When I was in my 20s I always had a friend ( who owned a taxi company) pre check my car before I took it to be serviced. He also recommended that they show me the parts they replaced.
