Our Van

Our van is very sick. Have I already said that? It needs a rebuilt transmission. That's sure not cheap. What's funny is that we have been praying about whether or not we should sell it. It would cut our debt in half if we did. I have been completely fine with doing that, but we have hesitated only to pray longer. Having two cars is pretty much a necessity even for homeschoolers. The total price of the repairs are $4000! Yep. Don't have it, and even if we did I don't know that we would pay it. Boy, this year has taught us the importance of an emergency fund.
You see the transmission was replaced by the previous owners at 40K miles just before we purchased it. It was a factory recall. I remember very vividly when we first took it in to the dealership they checked the records on the van and said yes that it had been replaced by the factory. So...just 40K miles and one year later it is out again??? Something fishy to me with this Honda thing. Micah called the Honda dealership and told them how very unhappy he was with the product. He was very frank and said that we would probably sell the car and never buy a Honda again. He threw around the word Toyota I'm sure-we really like those. Anyway, to our surprise they said they would send our claim in and they might pay for part or all of the repair. So, if you read this blog, would you please pray for us? We really don't want to pay for ANY of the repair. It would really throw us off the paying off debt track. Please, please, please, Lord! I know you know what's best, so we will trust You with that. The car belongs to you anyway!
