she likes the mercury grand marquis. i dont. i would like her to find a nice camry. 2005 or so. nice low mileage.

Is renting an option to get her home?...at least you wouldnt' be pressed into a decision timewise...

I take it she and her car is now in Delray and she is not from that area? Maybe fixing it would be a better option than a rush car purchase where she couldn't bring it back...

If she wants a mercury "boat", I suggest get her a M.M. rather than a little import. It's going to be her car not yours (I assume she will be driving it much more than you?)

and plus this is a boat forum...

road, my parents were snowbirds but now with my dad gone we dont want her alone down there.
reel, i'll be flying down to pick up my father in law's car so worst case, we'll all drive up together. i dont really think it pays to pump in another grand just to get another few thousand miles out of this thing.
also she has a friend down there who wants her car driven up here so my mom may drive her friends car up and look around up here. it seems to me that car prices are pretty similar here and there. i just think that she'll kind of be rushed to dump the thing down there. i dont figure it's worth all that much at this point anyway.
