Update Car Situation

Well, we are 2 days into our search. I have spent nearly every waking moment that I haven't been with Lily looking/searching for another car.

Our conundrum is that we ABSOLUTELY cannot afford a car payment. We need a reliable used car with low mileage for under $5000. Even with that, we have to get a temporary loan, because some of our savings is tied up in a CD until December. Yuck!

We won't say that we have decided to suck it up and just fix the transmission just yet. We may not have a choice though. The repair is going to cost more than the car is valued at (possibly as much as double the value on the car), so we didn't want to go there. Several cars that seemed like good options for us have all been sold. The rest ended up with mileage too high for the price.

Thanks for letting me vent! Just pray, pray, pray! I know in my head that God is in control, but I'm not feeling it in my heart at this moment. Right now, I am wanting some "me" time and to not worry about the car situation. Wishing I was more content!
