I'm dependent on a car to get to work, the public transit route turns a 20 minute commute into a 3:40 commute. The car could be sold now for closer to 9 or 10 but then I have no way to get to work. So in effect, I'm not going to be able to take advantage of high used car prices right now to flip the car. The thought of sinking 3k into a 5k car leaves a terrible taste in my mouth and feels like an absolutely awful decision but I don't know what else I can do.
