Sick cars

September 23rd, 2006 at 03:11 pm

Ugh!! Now I know why I like new cars. My dh van is sick, not sure what is wrong, but he says it hardly runs. The othe day he couldn't get it out of park. The hot rod will not crank and the old vette has something leaking out of it. Sounds like they all need to be fixed at once!
I even have a burned out side light in my car. Looks like this will be the month of the car repairs!
Dh is at the garage with his van right now, getting worked on. It is his work truck and he cannot do without it. Ihope it is fixable and can last another year or two.
It is only a 2001 but has done a lot of heavy hauling. I am keeping my fingers crossed that is will last a little longer. I got it paid off last christmas and then started a car fund, using that payment and putting it aside every month.

    Why is it that some cars last just longer than the payments? My van blew an engine less than a year, I think, after it was paid for. And like you, it had hauled so much stuff--especially band stuff. I got a car the next time that doesn't hold much cos those days are over. I definitely want to save up in advance for the next car, but considering the high miles on them, I probably won't make it this time. Hopefully, this is something I will learn in the future. We have four vehicles--two of which are with the college kids. And they all seem to need work right when the last one gets fixed. I have started a car maintenance fund.
