Reply to comment by Wandering_Lights in How Bad Of a Financial Decision Would it be for my partner to buy a car? by Traditional_Link_555

Partner makes ~50k, the cost of the car they’re looking at is ~15k depending on condition/mileage.

This is definitely not a good idea until you secure housing. Your partner's credit score will drop into the 500s as soon as she takes out a loan. There is a sub called r/mechanicsadvice. I'd suggest posting in that group describing exactly what the transmission is doing and see what advice you get. A lot of automatic transmission problems can be solved by simply changing the fluid.
