Mercury

Last week i was driving home from work when i noticed my car was smoking and temp was at red. i pull my car over as soon as i could but not before the car steering became tight. it was towed to dealer service center were less than 2 months ago had oil pan, oil filter and sway bar replaced and they were supposed to check the car for any other problems (they gave me a check list all stated good). the mechanic called me the next day and said it was a water pump and radiator hose $450 then later said spark plugs were black another $180 then called and said i need a new motor $5800 and none of it is covered under warrantee. i still owe $6400 on the car and planed on trading it for a new car but now i do not think a dealer would take it for a trade in and i do not think it is worth me putting all that money into even if i had it. what should i do? you know of a dealer that would trade it in as is?

Think you need a new mechanic, at least a second opinion. this whole situation does not sound right
