1. I keep the Avalon until I really want a different car.
2. Daughter goes to Defensive Driving Class.
3. Daughter works enough to pay her own insurance.
4. Daughter takes bus / trolley to junior college / work.
I'm having her do the research on bus routes, fares, etc. but actually I've already done it. (I just want her to start taking responsibility.) Turns out she can get from my place to school in an hour, changing buses once. She can get to work in half an hour, changing busses once. And she can get an unlimited Student Pass for $45/month.
Sounds like a pretty good solution to me.
I like it. It reinforces her responsibility in the whole thing, takes things in steps, and doesn't put you in debt. Besides the Avalon has a pretty good reliability record. I'd not give it up easily for that reason alone.
