Make The Dream of a Vehicle a Reality
I have been a part of several animal charity groups, and more than one had contemplated either purchasing a transport vehicle or accepting a donation of one. In the “pro” column is having access to a vehicle whenever needed. The cons have to do with maintenance and upkeep. Also, sometimes people have vehicles they are interested in donating that are beyond practical use. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. If you can repair the vehicle or add an engine for less than it would take to buy a new vehicle, it may be an extremely attractive alternative.
One solution that I discovered is GotEngines.com. You can buy Honda engines, Ford engines, and those to other makers very economically. You don’t have to be a mechanic to participate. There is no situation where you have to look through all the engines and choose which one looks prettiest.
Quite simply, you enter in the make and model of vehicle you are looking for an engine for. Then, the nice folks at GotEngines will write back to you and let you know what they can source for you at the best price. There are options for new, used, or rebuilt engines available. Time definitely sometimes equals money, and letting the experts search for you saves so many resources.
On their website, I noticed that GotEngines.com has supported the Epilepsy Foundation in the past. Not only can you feel good about the bottom line that the parts will help you maintain, but you can feel good that you are supporting a company that gives back to the community.

We have struggled with this at my local church. We need a car, but don’t want to be stuck with the expenses. We are lucky to have a zipcar nearby, so use that at the moment, but it adds up … so we will have to look into this.

Zipcars are great!! Wish I lived in a town that had Zipcars. They can be a lot more practical than regular rental cars, too.
