So your car broke down on your way home, leaving you stranded on Highway 97 with two agitated kids fussing in the backseat. Unless you’re lucky (or unlucky, depending how you look at it) enough to be driving one of Toyota’s recalled vehicles, you’re going to be looking at a sizable towing bill and a massive dent in your wallet in order to get something you-didn’t even-know-existed in your car replaced. The mechanic will tell you that your car absolutely needs a new safety loop driveshaft in order to function—at which point you’ll find yourself wondering whether your ’91 Honda Civic is even worth the $685 replacement.
A quick peek in the classifieds will tell you that it’s not. Although you’d probably be better off getting your kids out of the backseat and hopping on the cab to the nearest car dealership, it’s not a feasible option when you’ve got energy, phone, cable, and credit card bills piling up and bad credit. That’s where we come in. If you own a home, give us a call and see if you qualify for a home equity loan that puts money in your wallet so you’ll never be coerced into buying another driveshaft, torsion bar, or flywheel housing gasket again.
