Your thoughts in the direction to buy a car for $5000. with DMV cost incl and resell after 3 months for $4000. having had no maintenance issues in the interim period would be a dream come true, don't misunderstand me, it may be possible to even sell at your original purchase price, all I am trying to get across is the odds given the time frame is not with you unless you really got the experience to know a good deal when you come across one.

I mentioned if stay was 6 months buying would be my choice " example " an investment of $4000 - $5000. worst case would be selling at half that amount,,, total cost driving 6 months cost factor " peanuts " now trying to do this with a 3 month time frame is a whole different ball game, you really got to look at all avenue's

If I was in your shoes I would know all conditions and funds needed prior to arrival regarding renting,,, with that amount in mind I would go shopping for a used car and arrive at the most feasible solution.

Yes overall I have had positive feedback about Rent a Wreck, but again there is always negatives,,, here is a link, you be the judge
