My Mother-in-law had fallen on tough times as her son was in/out of the hospital for several months with Crones and had his plumbng removed. Lost job and what not. We had purchased her a Saturn two years ago and believe it or not was stolen three times but recovered twice.

I replaced it last night with a C280 1998 74k $5300 great looking car and has the factory alarm... Hopefully we can keep this around for at least a year!

Happy holidays all!

 

sorry to hear..the C280 is definitely least likely to be stolen..good move

 

Just recovered the car with little damage- not sure how the insurance will treat this... To be continued

 

Best of luck to her and your brother-in-law. You are a stand-up person for looking after them this way.
