Tips on Buying Cars: Trading in a used vehicle, ford taurus, right direction


Question
I purchased a used 2002 Ford Taurus four months ago & the motor has died. The car is no longer covered under warranty. I can't afford to have the motor replaced. Do you have any suggestions as far as what I can do to get rid of this car?

Answer
Hi Peggy
your question would have been simple had the car been 10 - 12 years old, but its only a few years old...
Here are some questions i would like answered which will enable me to guide you in the right direction...

1...your zip or postal code
2...what was the purchase price
3...is car paid in full, if not,how much owed
4...did you get an estimate to get car fixed, if so how much
5...i assume you will need another car ?
6...how is your credit rating

Peggy...I know you will need another vehicle, but i really need my questions answered before i can guide you, in the meantime go to my website    http://www.usedcartips.org/
