Ok so I get a call this afternoon from the guy who is working on my car. He said the words you never want to hear from a mechanic.....
I have bad news, your engine is going to have to be replaced. To get that car fixed is going to be more than the car is even worth!
Several times more, actually.
Bad part is that two more payments and the car would be paid for....why oh why does it have to work that way!
I texted my friend with the Toyota dealership. He's going to call me tomorrow to talk about options.
