My car is only a few years old, but with the high traffic where I live I don't feel safe enough(especially with a baby on the way). However, my husbabnd and I claimed bankruptcy 6 months ago(its been discharged). We didn't include the car, and have always paid on time. We only want something used, but just bigger.
