Car update... again
15 years ago
General
So, this may be the final update on my Grand AM. It was at Meineke for a week and they tried everything they could think of and it still doesn't run. We called the dealership and they said that they could look at it last Friday. We had it towed there.
They didn't get around to looking at it till Tuesday and they said that the engine is not getting pressure and they said it would cost $400 just to tear apart the engine to figure out what's wrong. That's not including fixing whatever's wrong. With the total from Meineke and the cost to tear apart the engine and towing, we are already getting close to spending $1000 on the car before it even gets to fixing whatever the problem is.
So, my dad said that based on the car being a 2003 and having 122,000 miles already, my parents will meet me at the dealership that has my car to work out getting a new used car and trading in the broken one. Unfortunately, this will involve both combining what's left of the loan on the Grand AM with the new loan, and I will need my dad to co-sign because I am still looking for a new job.
So, if things work out like it's looking now, it's entirely possible that I will come home with a new car today.
I am not feeling ready for a new car since I don't have a job at the moment but it doesn't seem unavoidable now.

Thankies for the reply and I am hoping the new one will run a long time without problems. If all works as it seems now, we are picking it up Saturday.
