Help??? And...selling SUV

Dad's doing better and better each day. Working hard on Rehab. Just a long journey ahead. Keep praying that he improves where he needs to, in order to go home. This week he actually moved himself from the bed to his wheelchair without his "helper board" that he uses. Also took a shower by himself, but needs help getting in and out of the shower chair. So, things are progressing...

HELP NEEDED
Folks, as you know, Dad could (and did) fix just about anything. Well, 4-5 months of being out of the house is taking it's toll. Mom said today that her Washing machine (5-6 years old) dumped a bunch of water on the floor of the wash room. She doesn't want to have to call Sears to repair it, as they charge half of what a new machine costs usually. Therefore, if anyone who reads this knows how to fix the most common washing machine problems...Mom would appreciate any help in getting it fixed. She said the belt on the dryer is squeaking too, so it may need a new belt REAL soon as well. Unfortunately, brother M. is starting to travel more with work, and isn't available to try and fix this stuff...

SELLING DAD'S TRUCK
It's obvious Dad is not going to be driving any time soon, and we need to sell his SUV (also, need to sell it so we can qualify for Medicaid). It's a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder LE (Silver) with about 114,000 miles. Mechanically is excellent, exterior condition is Good, and has new oversized tires on it. It's a V6, so gets good gas mileage. The Kelley Blue Book value places it between $4,800-$5,900 for private sale, but we'll probably ask $4,500 to friends. The only "problem" is that it is out of Inspection (for a year) due to a check engine light associated with the O2 sensor...it needs to be fixed, but shouldn't be too difficult or expensive. Dad simply procrastinated on taking it in. Other than than, runs great. If you or anyone you know is looking for a good used vehicle, please let sister E. or brother M. know! Don't want to bother Mom with it.

God Bless!
