Welcome to the forum!

Just to start: how many miles are you driving per month? If selling at a loss isn't doable, is adding an efficient beater to the fleet doable?

My brother's 2009 Ridgeline was written off a year ago. Its replacement, an AWD Nissan with manual transmission is saving him about $2k a year based on his typical usage. (He "needs" AWD because he lives on an unserviced road.)
