Then I realized something: I don&#8217;t have the money to pay them, I will not have the money to pay them in the near future, and really&#8211;for my mental health I have to NOT care.  I simply cannot expend more physical or emotional energy on this if nothing will change.<\/p>\n<p>So after letting go and letting God&#8230;..today I got a nibble on my room for rent (<a href=\"http:\/\/bend.craigslist.org\/roo\/2456521208.html\">http:\/\/bend.craigslist.org\/roo\/2456521208.html<\/a>) and 3 nibbles on my truck for sale (<a href=\"http:\/\/bend.craigslist.org\/cto\/2486385318.html\">http:\/\/bend.craigslist.org\/cto\/2486385318.html<\/a>). When I went out to the truck to check the miles on it (155,420) the sucker actually started and I drove around for a few minutes.  I had assumed that it had died for good months ago.  I have to say that I still don&#8217;t trust it and will still be selling it.<\/p>\n<p>Rant start (warning warning LOL)<\/p>\n<p>And by the way, if you are interested in the truck but think that $4500.00 is a bit much to ask for a truck that may or may not run&#8230;&#8230;Kelly Blue Book value is $4700.00 in a private sale (not trade in with a dealer) for this model with these features and mileage (doesn&#8217;t include the canopy as it was aftermarket anyway).  Fixing it (a new voltage regulator) would cost $50.00 or so if you do the work yourself and probably $200.00&#8211;$250.00 if you have a mechanic do it.<\/p>\n<p>I researched everything before I put it up for sale. Being female doesn&#8217;t automatically mean being intelligence-challenged when it comes to car values, the cost of parts, and the cost of mechanic labor.  The price is negotiable but please don&#8217;t insult my intelligence with a really lowball offer!<\/p>\n<p>Rant over.  We now return you to your regularly scheduled whining.
