Why don't you just buy a new car and sell your old one? Cause:

(1) Cost of this car (you say 5(k), (2) plus tax and insurance (let's say 1,000 total, conservative estimate, +tax on sale and the hassle (another 1,000?). That's a good 7k spent, non-recoverable, which coupled with the value of your primary car, may be better to trade in.

(Maybe you recover some of this cars value when you sell, but that's a risky business)

My concern is with my own car’s air bag deployed it won’t worth that much at all. It’s a relative newer car with only 40k. I feel the best way is to drive it for as long as possible just need to figure out this gap time
