Used Car Blues
Jan 30, 2010 Uncategorized
So I bought myself a used car and for a moment or two I was happy. I knew it needed work, I was just happy it ran. Not wanting to take the chance on it conking out on me, I took it in to the dealer just to find out what it needed done to it. The list was staggering but not nearly as much as the cost. If I get everything done to the car that needs doing then I will have easily paid much more than the car is worth, and maybe three times what I paid for it. Do get it fixed? Do I pass my problem on to someone else? My current thought is to fix a little bit each month as money becomes available, kind of like a car payment. It is running at the moment though no one seems to know for how long but it’s still better than taking the bus.
At least they gave me a cool loaner to drive while it’s getting worked on. It’s the loaner that’s in the picture. My car doesn’t look nearly as good.
