Question

question on money situation

ok, my car is an 89 escort gt.. kinda cool actually, fast too. looks awsome. just rebuilt the engine. it smokes. the power steering pump just went out, and it leaks... and my NEW oil pump found out it has a small leak as well.. in the worst spot. where all the preasure is. it needs new cv joints, needs a/c i live in az. new suspension.

what i did on it so far.
when the car didnt have any problems i fixed the exhaust, MUCH quieter*. new brakes. then it comes the fun part. the new crank shaft. all new seals, oil pump etc. new radiator, alt, battery, very hard*..


i have no money to fix the current problems.
im 17 graduated with my g.e.d. in a month.
need a reliable car. to go school with.

didn't even start at my new job at hollister yet, perhaps next week i start at minimum wage. at 10-15 hours a week?

i have no money! any suggestion on what to do?
can't afford to finance... or can i?

Answer 1

Start by selling your current vehicle for as much as you can get for it and THEN IF THEY HAVE THEM IN YOUR AREA AS THEY DO IN MINE FIND A USED CAR DEALER THAT OFFERS A "BUY HERE PAY HERE PROGRAM" and buy a DECENT CHEAP CAR like a few years old "TOYOTA" or a "HONDA" or a "HYUNDAI" using what you got for your old car as a down payment and maintain it properly,and it should get you around and back and forth to work and school and any of those brands of vehicles are very good on gas so that will help you too

Answer 2

At 17 you can not finance a vehicle, and you do not have the income to do it anyway. You need to get a job and work, and save your money. Until then look into a bicycle!!!

Have someone who knows what they are doing look at your car. A correctly rebuilt engine should not smoke. Check at scrapyards for some of the parts you need!

Answer 3

Get rid of that junk to start with and if you have no money for another vehicle then take the bus.
