Looks like Brandy’s 1995 Nissan Maxima with 246k miles on it now needs an expensive repair that may or may not actually completely fix the problem. If it doesn’t fix it then actually fixing it would most likely cost significantly more than the car is worth.

So we are car shopping. Right now Brandy is looking at a 2007 Volkswagen Passat 2.0T Wagon and is really excited about it. Test drive coming after we eat lunch. If she likes it we may end up with it. We shall see.
