<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7852218, member: 100459"]I haven't had to do any service on my cars since I was in college in 1970-1975. I drove a 1956 Ford 4-Door Sedan. I inherited it from my older sister. I gave her $50. First thing I had to do was replace the water pump. If there was service work or repairs and I couldn't figure out how to do it, I went to an old service station down the road. He would tell me how to do what I needed to do. He told me that if I don't fix it, I didn't need to own or drive a car. Just about when I learned how to fix my Ford, I got drafted and gave my car to my brother (for $50, of course). All my vehicles now are Toyotas, Most of my work is done by the dealership. I promised myself that if I ever got the money to fix my car, I would give it to the dealership. (My wife inherited a 2003 Toyota Corolla CE from her mother. Since she got it, she totaled it twice. The first time she hit 2 deer. It cost $2,000 to fix it. It wasn't long before she hit another deer and totaled it. The first time, the insurance paid to fix it or at least part of it. The second was out of our pocket. My dogs won't get into my truck or her other cars, so we HAD to fix it. 165,000 and drives and rides like a dream.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
