Go to KBB.com, (Kelly Blue Book) and look up the approximate value of the car.
Compare that to what you're spending on repairs. If it seems out of line, it's time for a different car. Check out Carmax, I've had good luck and found a couple of good deals. PS: sounds like either the timing is off, or a bad spark plug/cable. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Ihrig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 11:21 AM To: CF-Community Subject: when to ditch a car? last week 300 bucks for an oil change and replace serpentine belt 2 days ago driving home almost 60 miles from work, and engine light starts blinking car stutters on high way and starts to back fire... guess i blew a shock plug. they have to drill it out. and re do weiring. 450 bucks 98 VW Beetle 138k miles tried to buy a smart car today, but they are back ordered from April 2007... i hate money, and dont care for cars... so will drive beetle till it explodes again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:259380 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
