Nannies and MB's tell me how you work out the car/driving situation?

I would help her with getting basic maintenance fixed on her car instead of leasing or buying her a car - that's far more expensive. Many families offer me use of their car, but I feel comfortable using mine. If either you or husband can car pool to work, that's an option ?

Having a 2013 new car doesn't guarantee it's safe. Back in 2005 I bought a 2003 SUV in 2006 it started having a serious safety issue where it would completely die the first time I was going 60mph and the engine died and I lost power steering and breaking was near impossible. It continued to have that problem so I got rid of the car. Since I spent so much money on the car and it wasn't even paid off yet plus mechanic costs for a problem they could never figure out what it was I was forced to buy a 2006 vehicle that I still drive today and I haven't had any maintenance issues besides normal brakes, tires, and oil changes. Just because the vehicle is older doesn't mean it's not safe as long as the person takes care of it
