Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

I have lost a civil suit from a car dealership, it was in front of a magistrate. What happens next.. the judge ruled that I owe 950.00 to the dealership, I have contacted them to work out a payment plan and they said it is in the lawyers hands. I contacted the Magistrate office and they say it is with the dealership... Just want to know what I can expect next.
