Pastor Louis’ Car Need

Dear CCC Family,

My 2014 Ford Focus hatchback currently has about 92,000 miles on it and is in relatively good condition. It is an automatic, four-door hatchback, good a/c, and relatively new tires. However, I just learned it needs some major transmission work that would cost almost $3000. Since this is not worth my investment, I am looking for a reliable used car to purchase. My preference would be any compact size car that is a hatchback, but anything reliable would be appreciated.

Please let me know what you might have with some basic info (how many miles on it, the year and model, etc) and how much you are asking. Apart from the transmission problems, the Kelly blue book would be about $4000. But with the transmission work needed I would sell this car for just $500 possibly to someone who can do the work themselves as a project car? It is still drivable but has noticeable problems shifting gears.

Please email me if you have any info on a possible car or a possible buyer.

Thanks! 

Pastor Louis Lee
