Would you take the hit?
These cars are frequently $1500-$2000 per year some years less...

$2220 is about half of a what a new (modest) annual car payment would be...

I would take the hit if the car is good otherwise.

Any chance there is a vocational school nearby that trains auto techs than might take it on?
