I am pissed. I put my car in the shop today - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This morning, I went out to do some running around, and I noticed I was in a puddle of what appeared to looked like oil and smelled like gas. It was towards the back of the wheel on the driver's side. I looked underneath, and I was leaking slowly. I took it to my mechanic, and it looks like I need a new gas tank. It's going to run over $200 plus labor. It ticked me off because I just paid my bills, and now, I have to shell out some money. I just bought the car 7 months ago, and this is the first major thing happened.

Is it still under warranty? Does a warranty cover things like that??

No. I found it in the newspaper ads. It's a six year car.

Sometimes, those newspaper ads can be the worst place to buy a car because you don't know what the prior owner did to the car. At least if you go to Ford or a place like that, you can buy or lease and get a warranty for x amount of months.
