Does your insurance company provide for rental car reimbursement?

Yes, though it ends next Thursday. I could probably beg for a few more days but that's why I can't just wait out the market

You should probably lease then, if there is nothing used to buy.

Check Ohio tax rules.

In Illinois, I did lease a car once (LONG time ago) and then I wanted to buy it.

When you lease a car there, YOU pay all of the sales tax as part of your lease, even though you do not own the car.

I wanted to buy that car when I was done with it. I did not because I would have had to pay sales tax on it AGAIN as the "new" owner.

That's a crock of shit.

Wow.  I've never leased, my wife has, and I think she prefers it.

Ouch. Glad you're ok. 

A coworker in CO just sent me dash cam video of him hitting an elk late at night... Managed to swerve and hit the hind end which is the only reason anyone in his car is alive. Had he hit it square it probably would have come through the windshield. 

I'd definitely recommend looking at what's available used though, so at least you have a good comparison. But yeah, it sucks if you're stuck buying on short notice. When I got the Flex I had a very specific list of options/etc that I wanted in either a Flex or a Durango, and I had the luxury of sitting and waiting for one that met what I wanted to come available. If I was buying on very short notice it would DEFINITELY have forced compromises that would make me less happy about a car I planned to keep for 10+ years...

I mentioned before the best rental car I recall having was a very basic Honda Civic.  It drove decently and even had a sun roof.  

I just priced a Hyundai Tucsun hybrid, might be "OK" for us, some day, maybe, perhaps.

Sales tax on used items has always bothered me.  Of course, taxes in general bother me, so there you have it.

I get some photos of ar travel "back in the day" at times on FB.  It looks luxurious of course, and folks pine for it, even in Coach it looks great.  They never talk about ticket prices back then.

So, cars today are expensive IN PART because "we" want what they offer.  The most basic car sold today new is pretty fancy, I think it's a Nissan Versa.  Imiagine a very vasic "People's Car" someone builds with very spare equipment, just the basics, I doubt anyone would buy it.
