I'm looking to spend up to $2,500 or so at this time. I had to sell my wagon to free up some money to pay off my wife's car, eliminate some medical bills, etc. and apply the car payment money to other things and get back on track. So for now I have to settle for something just to get me around. Like I said, I have a beater Tempo that I bought to drive in the snow so that I could park the wagon. In the spring I plan to sell it and make a little money on it and apply that with the money from the wagon that my wife doesn't know about

and what I can save from odd jobs and my credit union account, that my wife doesn't know about

and buy a nicer wagon (or something) later on.
As hard as it was to sell the wagon I felt it was time to face the facts, be a man and do what needed to done to get my family's finances on track again. I have my Grand National which is a toy and it just wasn't working having a car, the wagon, that I hated driving in the rain or even letting my kids get in. If I could've sold the GN and parked the wagon and used it as a toy, it would've made (a little) more sense.
I think Lorne will be able to give the car an even better home than I could as it won't even see the rain, let alone hauling kids, stuff from Lowes, etc. I'm not happy about having to sell it but I know deep inside it was the right thing to do at this point in my life.
