If you have reliable transportation, drive it until the wheels fall off. If you need a "new to you car," listen to Ottopilot. Investing your hard earned cash in something that depreciates is bad juju. IMO if "you don't have cash" then you can't afford it. Use that payment amount to invest while the market is down. In the long run it is the best call.
