>Can you get a reliable car for $10k these days?

Probably. Perhaps not a mid-sized SUV with only 25,000 miles, though.

>Any advice for him?

Might consider getting a second job. Not having any savings means he doesn't have any options.

He should work hard on interviewing for a replacement job if this one is insecure. He doesn't want to spend any time "between jobs" with no savings.

Figure out where all that $90k is going. Find a way to reduce expenses.

Thanks for the response.

As I said to the other commenter, I don't think I can have much influence over these broader personal finance decisions. He's made it pretty clear that he's not interested in my opinion on that stuff. So I'm trying to just be non-judgmental, and give him the best possible advice on this narrow car question.
