My dad passed away back in 2008 and left me his 1997 Buick Skylark, which he purchased new. The vehicle has 138,000 miles but is in decent condition and it has a great amount on sentimental value to me.
It’s not like me to ask for help and I hate having to do it, but I just started a new job which is fairly close to home, but this job pays monthly and I don’t get my first paycheck until July 15. It’s going to be rough getting by for the next few months and I don’t officially start full-time until September 1.
My trouble started when the car overheated and we ended up replacing the water pump because it was leaking. We also replaced the thermostat and serpentine belt. We went to fill it with antifreeze/coolant and it all poured out on the ground, turns out the heater core has a major leak as well and the estimate to replace the heater core is $400 just for the labor. While in the shop they told me it was time to replace the brakes and the shocks are getting worn. They also pointed out that the bushings on the motor mounts were getting bad so I will need new motor mounts.
My backup vehicle was recently rear-ended in a hit and run. It appears something is broke on the rear axle and I don’t even know if it can be fixed but currently it can’t be driven. I only have a few miles to get to work, so I don’t need much of a vehicle, I’d be going by e-bike if I could afford one. Thank you in advance for any assistance you might be able to give with my daily commute to and from work.
