You must always look for the positives and try and concentrate on those. You did well and I hope the car doesn't cost too much to get repaired. I know it won't be cheap, it never is.

Thanks. I knew as soon as I realized it was going to a deal that it was going to be probably $250 to $500 for the repair (especially when indie shops were quoting $150 for the job plus part). The problem with this stuff is, an ignition switch for vehicles is not something indie shops keep in stock - only dealers really keep that stuff available.
It is no biggie though. I have been fortunate in reselling and managing my money over the last year so I am not hurting at all right now. I will come out the other side with my Jeep back, just with a bit less money in my savings. That is better than not being able to fix it at all though.
It is a learning experience that reminds me, that Jeep is 17 years old. If I am planning on keeping it running, I need to do more maintenance to it than I have been.
