Pray that it doesn't cost more than $300-500 to fix it...because that's all we can afford to pay out of pocket...and even that would make things unbearably tight for about a month. I won't even do that until after Christmas.
If it's $700 or so...there's no way we'll be able to pay for it. The car would just sit till Steve graduates and gets another job. Unless we charged it, which I really hate to do...
See why I'm feeling so lost?
Well, the general consensus here in the Hole is "Find out what's wrong". No sense worrying about anything else till after I know what I'm up against.
I mean, what if it was something minor and silly? It probably won't be, but there's a chance...
Any chance the auto place would let you pay in installments?
