It’s a gamble to get a used car you know nothing about when you have a truck you know is at least a bit reliable. My family grew up playing used car roulette and it’s pretty damn hard to come out ahead in this scenario. Best to run the thing until it dies while saving up for a new or like new vehicle.
I am that uncle. I’m just doing what I have to to survive.
If I could buy a new car I would. I’d get an electric, self-driving pleasure machine, but no way I can afford it.
Maybe when this thing breaks down (it’s already 15 yrs old).
This is completely understandable. The solution isn’t another car, it’s better city planning and public transit.
You could switch to a small cheap sedan

A motorcycle is cheap, fuel-efficient, and fun.
And totally not safe for everyday driving to me. Even if the biker himself is a good one ,dumbass right next to him might crush him any second
