I'm looking at a $5000 repair bill.
For a car that isn't worth $5000....
I love the car, and since it's paid for, assuming I don't get stung with some other high-dollar repair in the next year or so, it's still cheaper than a car payment.
But daaaammmmm!
And it still needs a paint job...
And the interior rehab is still in-progress, which means a gutted interior...
I'll be lucky to be back in the car by fall...

Holy crap! That really sucks and it's a family deal to boot which can be touchy.
Man, $5K, that's a tough call even for a car that's paid for. You must love that car! I dumped our '99 Grand Caravan when confronted with a $4800 bill but then again I was looking for an excuse to.
