There is perhaps nothing as frustrating as having car problems. You get up in the morning put the key into the ignition and nothing. You try it again and nothing, just a growing level of frustration as you realize that your car’s not working and you’re going to be late.
As the tow truck leaves with your car in tow the realization that something has to be done strikes you and you start to think about the future. It’s been a good car but the tow truck driver told you that it was not the battery, he wasn’t sure but he didn’t think it was the alternator either, it could be a computer problem and that just sounds expensive. No one likes car problems, they are rarely, cheap and always somewhat complicated.
Trying to figure out what to do in a case like this brings up a few problems. Do you fix the car or look for a new or used car? If you fix it, do you keep it and wait until something else happens or do you try to trade it in as it is? These are serious questions that don’t have to be answered by you; there are those with more experience to help.
