Hi, my name is Chase. I am 23 years old, and my vehicle is past being reliable. Now, my situation may not be as important as others, but I really need help and have no other options. I currently drive a 2011 Chevy Equinox with oil consumption issues. Along with that, it has a clogged catalytic converter that throws me a check engine light. I work in the car service industry, and talking to my fellow technicians, my vehicle is not going to last me and I am going to run into the issue of blowing up my engine.
Now, I have never been lucky with vehicles as I am sure most people haven’t. I have had 4 cars since the age of 16, and most of them have had engine issues shortly after receiving the vehicle. My first vehicle I ran into a deer going 80 MPH (I was 16 and dumb for speeding down a country road) and totaled my first car. The second and the third, engine problems. Second one the engine seized, and my third blew a hole in the engine block. After my bad luck, my grandparents (who have always helped me out even when they couldn’t afford to) loaned me a vehicle through a dealership. My current vehicle. Now, we still owe on this vehicle saying I have only had it a year and a couple months. I have been paying the loan off through them, and I found out I still owe over 9 grand. My car is maybe worth 2 grand, so even if I attempt to try and trade it in I would have 7 grand in negative equity and I have nothing to put as a down payment for a new, reliable car. I make enough to pay for my car, and to pay for a new loan, but I want to completely pay off this car so I can start fresh and use it as a down payment on a new car. Truthfully, I am asking for 10 grand, but, I know that is not always feasible and so any amount would help my situation. Getting this car off my chest would relieve so much of my stress. I work 60+ hours a week, and trying to make ends meet along with trying to pay off my vehicle sooner with whatever I can throw towards the cost each week takes a toll on me everyday. I am going to be moving in with my boyfriend within the next couple months, and in doing so it is going to turn my 8 minute drive to work into a 30 minute drive that my vehicle will not be able to endure. It is hard enough trying to go see him and my family because I try to drive as little as possible. Like I stated before, my problem isn’t as big as most people, but it is a huge life altering issue and I need help. Please. Even if I cannot receive 10 grand like I am asking, anything would be helpful.
