[quote=Anonymous]I have been a nanny to my current family for three years now. I care for a delightful 3 1/2 year old little boy who shares a strong bond w/me and the parents are always letting me know that they are super-happy how things have worked out and that they see me as a family member.

Anyway I drive an old ('99) car w/over 160 miles on the odometer. It has like a ton of issues w/it and has for awhile. I.e., needs new brakes, power steering leaking, sometimes smoke coming from under the hood, etc.

And my bosses have told me they have felt bad for me.

Well my bosses recently bought a brand-new SUV and will now sell $$ their old car. (They also have another one.)

When I saw the "FOR SALE" sign on the windshield I asked them how much they were selling it for. They told me $4,000/OBO.

I told them that I really really needed a reliable car and have needed one since forever.

I told them I have $2,000 in the bank and could get $800-$1,000 for my car.
I asked if they would be open to letting me work off the rest in time.

They said they would get back to me after considering my offer, which they ultimately denied.

I am a struggling single mother who could have used a favor. I have zero family to help me out.

I have worked for $12/HR for three years w/out a raise or any kind of monetary bonus the whole time.
They have come home late a few times and I've never said anything.

I not only take optimal care of their son, I also make sure the house is clean, picked up and neat as a pin when they come home.
Every single day.

On the other hand, it is THEIR car and in all honesty can do whatever they want with it. I have no claim to it in any way, shape or form.

Still..This would be such a huge break for me, because my current car issues cause me daily stress!
