Unfortunately, I won't be able to get the Fusion into the body shop until the 30th of this month, so I'm rocking a Jetta rental right now (since I need to drive to NJ and back this week). But the rental budget that my insurance gives me won't last long. I have a sneaking suspicion that it might not get authorized to be repaired, seeing how even with pandemic prices, its worth about 8k.
Maverick is scheduled for 2/21 so that puts delivery until late March?
Now I can car pool to work, but other things like going to the gym, dentist, or just going out would be a pain without a car. It was $20 just to get to Enterprise that was 10 miles away.
So, in the event that the car is toast, should I look into a $2000 beater, finance a 10k used car, or finance a new car? All would be either sold or traded in. The goal is to not lose too much money during that process.
It just seems hard trying to figure out what cars are overpriced, what might be a deal but a loss, and the sweet spot of break even
