How much is that timing chain job? Surely fixing that is cheaper then the $600+ monthly payments of the Acadia?

Around $5000. WE already put in $5000 a year ago and dumping it again in a 2004 is not worth it to me. Car payments will not be that high and we do keep our cars for a long time. Its time!
Re: Grand Cherokee or Wrangler
Timing chain should pretty much equal new engine. It's hard to break a timing belt though I'd maybe get a second opinion?

and this is what we are being told, that if the engine is pulled we may as well replace that to. Not to mention that the oil is leaking and they are not sure where it is going. there was zero oil in it when we brought it in cause it sounded terrible. last oil change was 4 months ago as we keep up with that. We have had another reputable mechanic take a look and he even advised not to put that kind of money into it.

Yea unless u plan on keeping it 5 to 10 years more I wouldn't put that kind of money into. Down payment and new car. I just dropped a new engine in my 02 silverado trying to avoid a monthly. My transfer case went out that another 2 g's I have to spend since I just spent the 5 lol. Wish I would have just got a new truck.I think u guys r making the right move 👍 at the end of the day it's only money 😜

thanks for the advice...mush appreciated. I get stressed when looking/ purchasing a new car,lol. I always gravitate to the ones with the bells and whistles. Fuzo doesn't get stressed about it and that makes it easier. I am going to love the BOSE sound system in it and have to refrain from speeding to my loud tunes when I alone. Don't think I will outgrow doing that,lol
