Where is all his money going! Making nearly $90K a year and can't save anything over a few grand?

It's very hard to find reliable vehicles for 10K but not impossible. He is probably going to need to look into other jobs or borrowing from family if his credit is bad.

Thanks for the response. I don't know where the money is going, but I really can't do much about that. He hasn't asked me for help managing his finances, and he doesn't respond well when others try to intrude on that.

He is asking me about what he should do with respect to the car. So I'm trying to give him the best advice I can on that question.

He is going to have a very hard time and should temper his expectations. Look at police seizure auctions or similar or government surplus sales, as they will be high mileage but you can get them cheap sometimes. Financing may be his only option but he's going to get ruined on the interest rate.

Yikes, for real tho! Should have had an emergency fund or some kind of budgeting.
