Well, I gave in, searched, and got a job. I'm a busbuy at my local Texas Roadhouse. My pay's $2.83/hour, but I get part of the tips. The manager said it should work out to about $150/week (USD) with about 20-25 hours of work, so we'll see how it works out.
Anyway, my car. Needs tie rods, CV axle, washer fluid needs fixed, and some rust needs patched. Can you approximate a cost in USD for these repairs? I'm guessing the CV axle would be over $400, so I don't think it's worth doing that for this car at all. Hopefully tie rods wouldn't be more than $250, though, and hopefully the problem with my washer fluid isn't big, either. I'm not sure what could be causing it to not come out. I know it's not because of the wiper switch, because I got it replaced not too long ago.
