A price offered!
My parents used this Blue Book thingy to look up the current value of my car, determined it to be at $1100, or $1600 with the mileage it originally had before their use, and then offered me $2000 at a rate of $500 a month for 4 months. Fair enough, I think, given the age of the car.
So, that opens up a lot more options. I can replace the laptop, or just replace the hard drive and use the rest of the money as a savings for my move to Boston. Replacing the laptop would dodge the issue of having to worry about eventually replacing the battery and who knows what other as well as giving me a computer actually under a warranty. However, right now the laptop's mostly serviceable for my needs, just a little slow. And it's served me well, other than the parts breakdowns.
I'm asking the opinions of those of you more experienced in practical technical matters.
