As stated by the title my 2016 ford fusion has been damaged by the famous coolant intrusion issue.

My mechanic said a new engine would be needed while I still owe 9k on the car. Any suggestions on what to do? My job relies on my transportation and a new car plus insurance would be an extra $500-$600 a month.

I feel like I’m at a complete loss and I don’t know what steps to take.

Thank yall for any responses
