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!

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.
