Consumer Reports lists used cars to buy and to avoid. I'd certainly take a look at their list or a similar type of thing before deciding on which used car to purchase.

I tend to read what people say more that paying attention to when they said it.

Fr. Bill: here's some more help Keep the car.. you can't recoup your investment and your out of pocket will be worse. This car saves you GAS moneys..you'll do no better and likely worse IF you have to have car transportation. 1) increase the deductible on the insurance, that lowers that cost. 2) cut out excess cable like showtime, hbo etc.. 3) lower other expenses, example if you have land and cell phone and internet, combine and cut out a phone service, Vonage for example can add phone to a cable or dsl line and thus you can ditch the phone line and cell, and they are cheaper. 4) consolidate other debts, sometimes non profit credit counseling agencies can help you do that 5) CUT UP and quit using plastic (credit cards). basically tighten the belt, but do it smart...penny wise sometimes can be pound foolish. Good luck
Well didn't see the latest posts from Prius 04 and rest, hope this helped the poor soul who is in a bind.
