Ricky's Car

[Janet]

The transmission went out on Ricky's car one day last week. It didn't really stop working, it just developed a leak that could not be fixed. Rick knew someone that would put a used one in for him and he and Ricky are on their way now to pick it up. Ricky has been driving his dad's Escort wagon....he doesn't like it at all... and his dad has been driving his truck.

Ricky has really missed his car even though he would like to have a small 4-wheel drive truck. Guess it about time to start looking for something different for him, but he'll have to pay for it. He really does need one with less miles on it.

Transmissions cost a lot of money, we had one replaced on my daughters car last year so I know. Depending on the age of the car and mileage sometimes your best to buy another car.


Hope Rickys finds a car that he likes soon and for a great price.. Check Craigslist someone is always selling a car on there. Good luck!

I wish you luck on finding Ricky something at a decent price. My son Eric is in the car selling business and he is not doing very good at it right now.. He said they are selling so high even at the dealer auctions. Hopefully you will happen up on a good deal, they are out there if one can just find them without it being a rip off.

Check out eBay. We've bought 5 vehicles on there, and have gotten some good deals. The latest one was m T-Bird, but we bought Melissa's Jeep Liberty on eBay. It's in excellent condition & was a very good price.

I'm sorry to hear about Ricky's car - I just hate car troubles. That's one thing my husband can't do (or couldn't do when he was well) very well, fix a car. He always wants to just trade it in when it is out of warranty.

That's too bad. There's nothing worse than car troubles, especially when your kids are driving every day to school. I hope that it's an easy fix to get it going again!!
