Speaking of broken spark plugs...
I would definitely have it diagnosed to find out exactly what the
problem is, rather than just guesses. If it does turn out that the
engine is shot, an alternative could be a wrecking yard engine. If the
car is in otherwise good shape,paid for, and she likes the car, it could
make sense to fix it, even if if it does cost $1000 or so. That would be
a judgement call on her part. Repairs may cost what 4-6 payments on a
replacement car would be. Larry
