What should I do with my car?
I have a 2009 Subaru with 450 dollar payments. There is no way I am going to take out loans to pay for my loan so I am left with three options:
1. Sell car and buy a junker
2. Sell car and don't have a car at all
3. Parents offered to pay my car payments while in school
Is there enough of a reason to have a decent car to do something like option 3?
I am from California and have rarely seen bad weather but I imagine something like a Subaru would fare better in snow than a civic.

Hmm.
Option 1) I have a shitty car and make car payments.
Option 2) I don't have a car.
Option 3) My parents pay for my car, thus negating the purpose of this entire post completely.

What has this got to do with choosing a law school?

I searched because I wasn't sure where to put it and 3 or 4 car threads were in choosing a law school.

Depends on where you're going to law school.

Again, I have driven on snow twice. If it was a place that has snow would an AWD car be a big deal?

1. Buy comprehensive insurance
2. Leave car in a bad neighborhood with the keys in it
3. Profit

I'd sell the car no matter what. Dropping $450/mo for a car is ridonkulous, and I would feel pretty crappy sticking my parents with that bill.
Then it's just a question of whether to buy something else. Where geographically are you going to school? Do you need a car there?

That's going to play a big part in whether you need a car. In Chicago, FWIW, it's totally unnecessary (and waaaaaay too expensive) to own a car IMHO.

I grew up in the northern (snowy) states and attend law school in a place that still gets its fair share of snow. I have a Forester and sometimes I am the only one of my friends still able to drive after a snowfall. Keep the car.

Yeah Subaru's are in the "Believe the Hype" category. They rock in winter climates.

So if not norcal then keep it.

$450 a month? Can't you lease a Range Rover for that?

The only thing dumber than paying $450 a month for a forester is leasing a luxury car.
