LYC: My car is sick.....the doctor told me this morning that it will cost me about $2000 to make it better.

So much for buying a BBQ and a patio set for my house this summer.

Its still in good condition considering the age...(94 Grand Am) so it has a few more years to go. This is the first large bill for it in three years. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 30, 10:19 14
- the rule of thumb for GMs of that age is 10 years/100k miles and you should be lookin' - 'lia Jun 30, 10:24 12
  - 100k miles? Maybe if you don't perform regular maintenance or something. -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 10:27 10
    - on a GM vehicle of that age? hells yes! - 'lia Jun 30, 10:31 9
      - My Dad's 2500 Van had 300000+ miles on it when he finally junked it. Repair after repair. How long does it take to quit throwing money away. -- nm - lileve Jun 30, 10:40 1
        
        exactly - 'lia Jun 30, 10:49
      - Hmm. I know of at least 6 that are on the road with close to 200K miles. - Spawn Jun 30, 10:33 6
        
        am I dearly appreciate these exceptions - 'lia Jun 30, 10:47
        
        I have had very few issues with my 2000 Grand Am and it's at 131k. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 10:37 2
        
        you've clearly gotten your money's worth -- nm - 'lia Jun 30, 10:43
        
        Commute to DC? -- nm - lileve Jun 30, 10:40
        
        my friend who just retired her car last week must have been awfully damn close to 200K. - Andie Jun 30, 10:35 1
        
        that's awesome - 'lia Jun 30, 10:42
  - *giggle* - JaxSean Jun 30, 10:26
- Ah, there's your problem. - JaxSean Jun 30, 10:20
Your car obviously doesn't want you to be happy. Take it to the orphanage and trade it in for one that does. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 30, 10:18
second opinion? or are they reputable? -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 10:18
well, I can see your first problem right off the bat... - znufrii Jun 30, 10:17 1
- Yeah, they always over-quote. -- nm - Subversive Jun 30, 10:18
Just buy a new one. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 30, 10:17
You may have to put it down. -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 10:17
How old is the car. - lileve Jun 30, 10:16
