I have not had good income for while. In order to take a job I have been offered, I have to get a car (didn't need one before since living in an area with good transit I need to leave), because the area where the job is is completely devoid of any form of public transit (need a car to get food). Looking at my finances, they are asking for more money than all the money I currently posses as a down payment and even then for a 12% interest rate. They have also turned down every co-singer I have suggested either because they are retirees on fixed income (parents, various other family members) or because they require that we reside in the same state both at the time of the financing and throughout the length of the loan (I would be taking a job in another state).
Without getting a car I cannot get work. Because I do not have work, I cannot get a car. So because I am unemployed, I am permanently unemployable unless I happen to get something in one of the very few areas in the country where you can live and work using public transit.
But no one wants to work.
Anyone have any idea how to escape my catch-22?
