Honestly don't know how to help my family best...2003 Ford Explorer. Blown head gasket, busted radiator, hole in the thermostat housing, and cracked swaybar...spent 3000-LAST YEAR. It's been undrivable for 8 months now. I live in arctic climates 8 months of the yr...2 mechanics quoted 3,500-4000 to repair, not even getting the car back to highway drivable condition. I'm bout 'motional just thinking about awl the money I spent on insurance, a warranty, and repairs.

Do I save again and buy better ( I've been working my whole arse off and can only afford 2000 used), knowing we need an 8 passenger w/no note asap, or scrap it for 100-200 bucks and go get anything thing that starts? So much literal garbage sold in Southeast MI. I cannot be robbed again I just can't😮‍💨🤦🏻💯 Suga please help
