Good grief. How do you ever find time to sit at the computer? That's a LOT of driving. Makes me feel a little less sorry for myself...I'm behind the wheel about 2 hours a day and I don't like that.

I really appreciate the responses on this thread and will be sharing them with the mechanic and money man. I will probably be selling this Buick...but selling a car with an unknown problem when you're honest is an incredibly stressful proposition. If I knew what was causing that light--but I don't.

Oklahoma no longer even has safety inspections; they don't care what my dashboard says. I think however that if an unsafe vehicle results in an accident, you can kiss your future goodbye!

I'm warning you. It will almost certainly cost more to make that light go off than you will ever get for the Buick.

One more thing...

Stay away from both of those.

Just a thought. You might want to check with your accountant about donating the car to a charitable organization and getting a write-off on your taxes. This way you don't have to wait and wait for a buyer, and you aren't in the position of feeling guilty about its condition. In our area, the Salvation Army takes donated vehicles, and I believe there's a women's shelter that takes them. Check around.
