How would a new car break down on occasion? I've had my Fusion for 16 months and 32k hard miles, it's yet to falter me.

Find some people on the forum that will help you with the car, I'm sure parts probally aren't that bad, buy them some pizza and beer and get that bad boy fixed.

big difference between a breakdown from something like a sensor or something like that, than coming out to my car to find oil everywhere. A new car wont blow a headgasket.

plus, im not looking for a brand new 2010. something from a dealership but pre owned. im well aware i cant take on something more than 15k. My issue is that i dont have a co-signer

Given the information that you have given us so far, it sounds like you will only qualify for a very high interest loan.

I love how life insurance companies send hot chicks to sell you stuff. I bought everything. LOL but seriously I was gonna do it either way, but it was nice to look at a hot chick while doing it. haha

DPancoast 12-08-2009 01:09 PM

You are lucky too. Stuff can and does more often then not randomly fail, wear out, or just need general maintance.

$15k even at 72 months with high interest is probally $300+ a month. $500is a upper engine rebuild kit and fresh timing belt kit probally. In 1 car payment, you could virtually have a new motor. See what I'm tring to get at? I'm not the most mechanicly enclined person there is but I've held my own with my car, you get a service book for your car and I'm sure with some basic tools, a week of work, and maybe a rented specialty tool, and I'd be willing to help and I'm sure we could find someone else to help too. ****, I would eat Roman Noodles all month if I had to before dropping money like that, unless I just wanted a new car in general.

Ive been nickled and dimed by this car. I honestly love it...but stupid things keep happening. I feel capable of doing a head gasket job, i would just like to have someone by my side to help me out pretty much. The hardest thing about this specific vehicle is that lack of replacement parts. When i can find those parts, it costs an arm and a leg. Sometimes even my new born. Id like to just keep it, im just afraid of it breaking down in a week. I have basic tools, and have a decent amount of knowledge in regards to cars. Im just wondering if im wasting my time.

jpalamar 12-08-2009 01:29 PM

My GTO is the same way with parts. Radiator was $450, slave cylender is $225, wheel bearing was $400+
