plunkybug$500 to fix my back window, and another $300 to fix the heater. Not to mention $300 to replace my muffler. ARGH!!! My car may be green in color, but that doesn't mean I am made of money! I can't get too upset, because I got the car from my aunt for free a year ago. The window is the most urgent repair, but we are trying to save up for our annual trek to LA. This couldn't have come at a worse time. I should never have rolled it down yesterday. Grrr.
We were told that the window could be jammed closed for less (but not sure how much less), though it would not work until it was properly fixed. At least it is not one of the main windows. I like my windows down, but I can handle not putting that back one down. It isn't full size anyway. But still, I would like it to work. As for the muffler and heater, I can live a while longer without them, though the muffler will have to be done soon. I have just been putting it off because I am trying to find a lower price. I was quoted $300 which would include a lifetime warranty on the muffler, but do I really need a lifetime warranty when my car is already 14 years old? I know some muffler shops offer lower warrantied mufflers for lower cost, which will be fine for me. One with 5 or 10 years should be plenty I think. And the heater, well I went 7 years without, so I guess I can go a little longer again.
Oh well, what can I do?
