b! is awesome. Thanks for the good wishes. Unfortunately, the car will not be cheap.

Posted by zork Oct 9 '15, 13:02

Probably about $1300 to $1500 plus other things that can be done later. It's a 2004 so might be smarter to put that into another vehicle but I'm not in any position to get anything else now (and at least I know this car).

Still sick. Feeling slightly better but probably only because I've been doping up on sinus meds.

The nightmare senario is, in a couple months another issue that's as much, typically repairs on old cars are almost the same as payment on a new car -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 9, 13:10 9
- nowhere near the same, in my personal experience - znufrii Oct 9, 13:27 7
  - My Saturn suv has 105k, hoping for 2 more years, the mortgage is paid off -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 9, 13:41 3
    - you took out a mortgage on your car? -- nm - znufrii Oct 9, 13:43 2
      - The length of some contracts would seem like it, no this was paid 2 years ago, house will be paid in 2 more years after a couple years we refid 15y -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 9, 13:50

  - yah, it depends on the car. it can definitely add up to a whole lot for some, but - b. Oct 9, 13:32 2
    - well, we're about to get rid of it anyway, so here's hoping nothing major crops up -- nm - znufrii Oct 9, 13:36 1
      - hope so! -- nm - b. Oct 9, 13:37
- let's hope that doesn't happen then! (not that all repairs are that much, though.) - b. Oct 9, 13:15
