Overheated to 250, died on side of highway, left stranded

It sounds to me like you are less than concerned with the financial feeding frenzy these lenders can stick you with than the total it's going to cost to repair the engine/ car. Don't think about what this costs per month, add it all up as one big total in the end.

Financing repairs or etc on a car that's 13 years old makes it easy to get upside down.. Lenders do not have your best interest in mind. Thinking about things only on a monthly basis is what lenders look for as their prey, and that mindset didn't help the current state of our upside down economy.

Porsches cost more to own than they do to buy, always have. I learned that before I even had a drivers license.
