The new car market seems to be leveling out near me, lots have many new cars available but the prices are still insane. The used market looks like a complete joke right now as well and I can’t imagine putting $15k+ into a used vehicle and then possibly ending up with a dead car and nothing because it was a lemon. I drive about 20k miles a year a…

Recently married, my wife got too many months behind on her car payments and they charged off the loan. What are our options?
