This is turning into work and a real time crunch. I live in one rural area and work in another rural area 40 miles away that is truly remote. Can't take much time off work and still get the job done. Plus I have the private practice and can't responsibly reschedule those clients in order to look for a car on weekends. Most cars I'm seeing, be they privately offered or at dealerships, are far enough away that I can't get there before dark and/or just before closing time. Also work most Saturdays in my private practice, and most dealerships that sell older cars in my price range are closed on Sunday.

Having to rent a car for the next week to take some strain off, (We are driving 160 miles 3-4 days a week to get both me and my son to work in opposite directions, and that means I also can't stay late at work when I need to. Weekly rental is expensive, even with Enterprise. Would much rather be putting that money toward a car payment. ARRRGHHH!
