$900.00

So I called a few moments ago about getting my car into the shop for it's 60k mile check up. This is the most important one in the life of my car. If I miss this, I lose my warranty, which as already saved me a couple hundred in replaced parts.

So I call and talk to the guy, and I'm expecting abut 400-450 maybe a little less or more, but generally around those numbers.

He informs me that the time belt is part of the scheduled maintenance now and it was not included on my original schedule, which I can understand, my original schedule is 2 and a half years old. So I'm thinking ok, one more thing isn't too bad.

So he schedules, and calls me back double checking the name the car is registered under. I ask how much it will be, he says he'll get a detailed list and call me back. He calls me back and says around $900.

So once I stopped shitting my pants, I stopped and called my dad to see what we need to do. For that much (over 3 full car payments) it may just be way more worthwhile to trade my car in on a new one.

So surprisingly enough I may have a new car by this weekend. Cause $900 is a damn bank buster right now since I have negative 2.41 in my Hibernia account.

just waiting for my dad to call back to see what I need to do, I'm pretty sure he's gonna tell me to go see how much I can get. Hope he can come with me tomorrow or Friday, because I'm not nearly as uncomfortable with car people as I used to be, but still, I'd feel much better if my dad was there to keep me from getting screwed.
