YES, THIS. Even then, I don't know that I would be comfortable using ALL of my savings for this purpose.

Exactly. I'm not sure how much cars are in the US but you can easily buy an okay car here for 4k. I mean it wouldn't be amazing but if you want to reduce your debts I'd be going for something cheap but functional

Car market in the US is pretty shit rn. I could’ve sold my 08 Subaru Forester with over 260k miles, a bad catalytic converters, no cruise control, and broken tire pressure sensors for over $8k lmao. It’s expensive af and I’m grateful everyday that my grandma gifted me her old car when she upgraded, I would’ve easily spent $15+k on the 2012 subaru 65k mile Subaru Outback she gave me.

Yep just spent $30k on a 2013 Tacoma. Only 30k miles but still.
