lithera | Car info and run down...

So... The reason the car isn't working, is that the battery cables are horrible. The alternator is fine, the solinoid is fine and the starter is fine. So, they're changing those out.

While looking at the car, they found some other things that would become serious issues for me shortly, such as a few seals breaking in places and oil going into part of the engine where it shouldn't and so on and so forth. So, we're also going to fix up the oil leaks and clean that stuff out.

I need new a while bunch of things that would cost me more if I got them done individually but are covered by their maitneance program and so I'm getting that done too. (Spark plugs, oil filter, oil change, spark plug chain (I think that's what he said) and so on and so forth.)

There are a few other things they found that they told me about but I'm not going to get them done right now because I really, really do not have the money for them and they aren't needed. Taking the transmission out and doing things with that and all that stuff...

Well, it is more than I wanted to pay but we're getting a lot of stuff fixed. I'll just be in debt a little while longer but... the car will run and be safe.

The grand total of everything, had I gotten everything, would have been more than I paid for the car but the total for this is... within what I was comfortable paying, though just barely.

Ouch. I'm going to be... well... If I hadn't already been locking down on my money next month, I would be now. It's all about proper allocation of willpower.
