    so I’ve figured out car wise what Im going to do. I’ve all but sold my car to pay for the mrs’s car’s loan. then im gonna get her car limping, sell it off and buy something brand new with a warranty. Its gonna cost a fortune, but given I stand to lose close to 20k on her car, and I’m having to sell mine to offset that I dont see we have a lot of other options. What do I do if I buy second hand and it blows up again? But I hear back from the diagnostics (mid next week) I dont know how much its going to cost to fix (If even possible). So I dont know the financial damage so I cant really order anything. Stressful. I just want this done and buried so I can move on.

        Bahaha, love it! I had a similar thought tbh, but the dealer I’m looking to buy from is 100km away. Thats gonna be an expensive tow, and fair confident the cars not gonna make it under its own power.

          I’m sure I heard an ad this week.for a dealership offering $3333 more than a written quote from elsewhere.

            I’m sure they are out there. Trouble is I don’t even know if it’s cost effective to fix mine. Mazda quoted like 20k in the worst case scenario. The cars worth maybe 17k? I’m not paying what it’s worth to sell it. I’ll just piss it off to a wreckers.
