Keep car, get engine; all parts are up to code minus the engine

Take chance on new used car not knowing its full history and hidden damages

Scrap car, wait until later in life when a car is more easily affordable but lose out on freedom of movement

Okay so as some of you may be aware I am currently in Florida and my cars engine has seized because the quick lube place I took the car to fucked up my oil change. Good lesson to learn to change my own oil i suppose. Anyway so I am now left with 3 options: replace the engine, which will probably run about 3000 bucks; buy a new used car; or scrap the car and shove having a car again off until later. It would be nice to have a car but I don't necessarily need one at this point. I am concerned about graduating grad school next year and having to pay off both an engine and student loans at the same time potentially.

So as is tradition, I leave an extremely important life decisions you,  boyah.

sell the car for whatever it's worth and buy a cheap used car that you could even sell again later. its florida how bad can it be

If I sell the car I will probably get like 300 bucks. Which is alright but it won't really make up for much. There are currently cars available on craigslist for 1800 and up claiming good condition but that's really kind of playing with fire a bit to trust that to get me 2000 miles back to Wisconsin

How old is the car? How many miles? Yeah that sucks. I wouldn't put 3 grand into a car if it wasn't 100% fine in every other aspect. Like transmission and all.

get rid of the car, don't buy a new one. walk everywhere, gain the endurance of the bears and live in the everglades.
