I think you should drive the loaner all the way to AZ and keep it there until you are done with it. They can just suffer.

Love, Maggie

Hi Sis,

I had a Honda Civic from '92 to '02 and then replaced it with my current one. Have never had one minute's trouble. We gave my son the first one when it had 146,000 miles on it and he drove it for another 2 years! Neither car has ever been in the shop or ever not started. I can imagine your frustration. You expect a car to be there for you when you need it.

Have a safe trip and a happy Thanksgiving.

Love,

Polly

I'm so sorry you are having such a problem with your Buick.

We have had extremely good luck with 3 Buicks in a row. Two Park Ave's and the latest one is a LeSabre.

We gave our son the first one when we got the next one. He drove it until it had about 200,000 miles on it. It was a 1989. His son finally took the transmission out when he started driving. (Why do boys always do that?? This was an automatic transmission too!!!)

We are still driving the second one. Left it here (Florida) when we left last spring. It has almost 140,000 miles on it. It is a 1994. Things are starting to "go" such as the automatic pull-down for the trunk (they don't even put those on anymore), and the battery was dead when I got here.

No trouble at all with the LeSabre yet but it's "young" - 2003.

I'm am really sorry you are having such a hard time. Auto's can be a real pain sometimes.

Here's hoping you can get going on Friday with no more hold-ups.

Shirley

Good luck with the car Barb, hope it is fixed soon.

I have a lovely little Holden Vectra & so far no worries.

It is disappointing for you when you are all set to go on your holiday, especially after all that packing

Love

Liz
