<prompt> Human: So my wife has a car that shes paying 378 a month on. We still have about 5k that we owe on it. Except, the car has finally died for good. First, the engine got a hole in it. Mechanic said hed never seen anything like it and couldnt explain it. That was 6k out of pocket to fix. The mechanic also said the transmission was going bad, so that would be another 5k to 8k to fix depending on if we could find a used one or had to get a new one. We certainly werent going to put MORE than what we paid for the car into maintenance, so he said we could just drive it until it gave out, but should last a while still.Last week, the car finally decided that life was too hard and gave up. We knew it was coming, but we were HOPING we could make the car last until it was paid off. That didnt happen.We tried to trade the car in before it died, but the value wasnt high enough and we were told by every dealership that wed have to put several thousand down with the car in order to trade. So now we have a car that we still owe 5k on and only one working vehicle. Luckily, at the moment, Im a stay at home father as I just finished college last month and have only recently started trying to enter the work force. Of course, thats going to be harder with one vehicle.What are our options here? Our credit is subpar at best, and with only one income while still spending almost 400 a month on this car we dont really have any sort of saving option, either. We feel rather stuck at the moment.Edit: I just called all of the Nissan Dealerships within 50 miles of me and Im still getting quoted with a lowball of 3,100 and high of 4,000.  <response>: What kind of car has a 6k motor and 8k transmission?? Id get a 2nd opinion.
