I fail to see how selling the car will help you. What are you realistically going to get for an '00 S with 30K+ miles on it??? $15K? I highly doubt you'd actually get much more.

So then what? Pay off your $10K loan and end up with $5K? What kind of car areyou going to get that is more reliable than the car you have now (the devil you know). I just don't see how that helps.

I suspect you already realize that this is a car you shouldn't have bought in the first place.

I'd suggest you wait until you find a COMPELLING deal on a property. They are out there if your patient. In the meantime -- live with mom for a while.

Have you considered wrenching part-time? Folks will pay for a mechanic.
