Sigh....

The snow started yesterday, pretty much right on time. I found out the day before that my van needs a 'major engine repair' to the tune of about $3000! Yikes~it's nearly fifteen years old! So, that's not happening, and I don't want to drive it, since it could die at any time. Now to figure out how to afford a new (to me at least) vehicle. Too bad I don't have all those jillions of dollars I'm always winning every day in my spam box! For now tho, I'll be walking to work~it'll be my stress relief! Between my feet, the bus and mr pawprint, I should be OK for awhile...

  1. We had good luck with Lease Boys online. Not sure of the website because my husband found it - but - if you sort through there are some good deals. And that was for us years ago, before the economy went down. We got a van with low kms, took over the reasonable lease with option to buy-out for a good price, and the guy paid us $2,000 to do it. Maybe you'll find something there. We ended up selling it and getting a new one (to pay off in a few years - sigh). (((Hugs)))
