R.I.P. My Little Saturn

I took my little Saturn to my uncle’s shop last night.  After many phone calls back and forth, it has been decided that I can not keep my car.

I am most bummed by this as this was the first car I ever bought.  It was all mine, I did the research, I picked it out, I paid for it.  And now, I can’t keep it.

The engine has to be replaced.  To replace the engine, it will cost AT LEAST six thousand dollars.  Plus a thousand more to fix the air conditioner.  Plus the oil pump may or may not be going out.  Basically, epic fail on my little car’s part.

So, come Monday, I will take it in to trade it (if they will take it) or sell it for parts (if anyone actually will take it) and get a new car.  I haven’t decided if it will be a brand new car, or if it will just be a new to me car.  I guess it will depend on what kind of a deal, if any, I can get.

But tonight, I am going to mourn for my car.  I LOVE my car, and I am not ready to not have it.
