We have a program in the area (Lyn-Cag) that will do car repairs and the client does not have to pay the money back. If you had something like this in your area perhaps your client can qualify. United Way might be able to help direct you to the right agency. We do feel like used car sales people from time to time. Good Luck! Gail

The original purchase amount was only $2200. I found a engine mechanic that will replace the engine with a 6 month guarantee for about $1000 and we could give her a car repair loan. The car is sitting at a garage about 18 miles from here. I have spoken with the borrower several times regarding options. Without an engine the best she may get is around $500. Have any of you been faced with this delema and how did you handle it. I don't seem to be getting much of a response from her because she has too many people giving her advice. Do I just repossess it and sell it to a junk yard? What a difficult situation. The good news is. The longer the program goes on the more I learn about cars! Carolyn in Danbury
