So, after looking over my car and deciding what needed to be done, I was given a choice – walk away without my car or give the dealership $6,000 to fix it. Crap. Since I need a car, and the car is still worth more than that, I did what any rational human being in my position would do. I cried.
Well, maybe no actual tears left my eyes, but I was crying on the inside. Flight of the Conchords put it best with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pVT_mvvZLo.
So, now that I have poured $8,500 into my car over the past 2 months to fix the Air Conditioning and the oil leaks from the engine, I am getting tired of paying for repairs. But I also just spent $8,500 on my car, so I can’t get rid of it now, right? This is the death spiral. And with only 67,000 miles on the car (it’s a 2008), I have to think, “nothing else should go wrong, right?”.
I will begin my search slowly. And pray that I don’t get caught with another monster bill. I am scared.
