    I have a $8K+ estimate for exhaust/CC repair on my Volvo!! Any clue if anyone will loan $$ for this repair? Couple of places I googled so far can't help, because I owe too much on the truck still.

    Unless that exhaust includes a new engine in front of it I'm confused...

    I hate to say it, but if you don't have $8K in the bank, or qualify for an $8k credit line, you should think about hanging it up and becoming a company driver.

    I'm sure he needs a new catalyst and / or wiring harness.

    Don't you have a credit card or at least your emergency fund for these types of problems?

    is the truck out of warranty?

    can you try salvage yards?

    Wait - new member, first post. Might be a troll post. Proceed with caution.

    I was fooled!

    Most people would swipe a credit card at the very least if they didn't have the cash laying around. If they don't have credit they might want to consider parking the truck and becoming a company driver until they can repair their credit.
