wow! You've spent $5500 repairing a 13 yr old car that cost 28k to begin with? I remember those eclipses and I loved them but that is serious coin to be dropping into a car that is probably only worth what you have put into it or maybe even less.

you should pick up a junker to drive around before something else breaks.
