A Focus is a nice car...along the lines of a Cavalier, right? I loved my old blue Cavalier.

That's what I'm worried about with my van...that fixing it will cost more than it's worth. What does one do in a situation like that??

It's kind of the new version of their Escort, I think. Cute little car. A bright yellow hatchback.

Sometimes fixing it might be more than you think it's worth, but less than it would actually cost to replace it.

Have you had it looked at yet? You think it's the transmission right?

As for the old one...I think the mechanic has a network of people who will take cars for parts...but I doubt they'll get much for it.

Dad was pretty down about it all yesterday. He's almost always bought junkers and just drove them until they died, but what with Margaret driving quite a distance for violin school and with the bad luck he's had with the last few junk cars, he decided he just couldn't do that anymore.

But debt isn't fun, either!
