Anonymous wrote:My daughter is on the riding team at her college and not allowed to have cars as a freshman. She found it to be quite a pain relying on others for rides and once got stuck at the barn ALL day because she had to wait for someone to finish (this was a weekend day) so she put in a request with the school to get a car and it was granted.
Now we are not 1000 miles away so that is different, but she is happy to have the car there. Where she goes, she is parked a 15 minute walk away, so she does not use it much, just going to the barn and maybe once a week she goes to the food store with friends.
I'm honestly not sure what I'd do with a 1000 mile drive. My kids do have AAA but thats very long.
Maybe there is a friend orfamily member approx half way to break p the trip with an overnight?

If you even can, I would find her a. new car. She definitely needs something reliable.

No brainer here. 101,000 miles is nothing. Spend the 2K and send her with the car.
Agree with this. I drove a 1990 Buick across the country in 2006 (it has 100K miles on it as well) and while it wasn't the best decision ever (no air conditioning in August in Las Vegas... not fun) it was fine. It's great to have one and in your kid's case it sounds absolutely necessary

This. Kids at rural colleges usually need access to a car.
If she was going to an urban school, no need for a car.

You can always fix this car and keep an eye out for a newer car over the next year.

How old is the car? Are we talking 1996 or 2006? The latter I’d repair; the former not. You could drive to school with her and fly back.
