*sigh* and yesterday felt so good...

I *SO* was hoping I'd go a few more days (weeks?  months?) before needing this icon...

On this, well, not much we can do except be thankful we have a few bucks saved up and I make enough to hold us for quite a while.  Bright side is I can go to her office to get her stuff so it doesn't have to sit in a friends' house.

Because I already have the car back, without doing anything to it...and not for a good reason.

Forget about it.  Cylinder damage.  Repair cost will, yes, exceed its trade-in value.

I note shit like that happens (well, is discovered) just as you say "we'll keep it for one more year than get something new based on new requirements...".

We've hit that point as well... but are pushing it longer if possible. Chances are pretty good that a year from now we won't have to take the dog into consideration when buying a car (and dog takes up more room than you'd think... she's *not* really a crateable dog). Big difference between space needed at that point, vs space needed now (even taking into consideration that we can always rent a mini-van for those few weeks it's needed during the year...).

Good luck with the car search! (and with the car holding out until you find what you *want*)
