Whats your opinion on my car situation?

Question

I just had to give my car back to my credit union. It needed about $4000 worth of repairs. I now owe them around 10,500 even though I only owe $9,200. I'm not going to be able to pay it so I am going to have to file bankruptcy. I am only 18 and have no family here so I'm on my own. If I file bankruptcy should I go get a car that is new with a warrenty before I file or should I just get a cheap car that could have problems. If you have any ideas please let me know. If you know a good car dealer in the middle tennessee area let me know.

Thank you so much for your help.

Oh I am going to be going into the air force within the next 4 months.

Answer 1

you wont be able to get on a payment plan with your debt your only chance is to pay the full price of the new car up front

Answer 2

it really sounds like you cannot afford any car, get a bike. besides in 4 mo you wont need a car anyways right? so if you got one it would just sit around loosing value.  

Answer 3

I would wait till you get out of the Air Force.   Good choice the Air Force.
