Oh, okay.

The car ended up coming out to 626.44.

I better get this Wegman's job, I swear to God.

EDIT: After doing the math again, I realized that makes it $3900 spent on this car since November, the heinous douchemonkey.

Ack! Well I hope it stops breaking down on you! *sends no more car breakdown vibes your way*

If it's up to 4k in less than a year, I'd be very wary of sinking any more into it.

Yeah, try telling my relatives that. I've only got another $1500 before I've paid the initial price of the car twice over and desperately want to get a new one, but I need someone to co-sign and my mom refuses.

Ok. Against my better judgment, I'm commenting. Please feel free to ignore.

Even if you count that as 9 months, it's over $400/month, and you've had dental bills to cover as well. You have a right to be completely stressed out, but you should also feel good about just managing to keep your head above water with your situation and income level.

I know you're starting to get to hating your car right now, but besides possibly moving to another apartment (I don't know how feasible that is), if there's no public transit and it's too far to bike (short term fix), then a cheap new car may be an option that's better than a used one right now.

I don't know about where you are, but we can get 0% financing for 5 or 6 years on a lot of models right now, putting a cheaper car in the $170-$200/month payment range. If you're going to be seeking bankruptcy, best to check that out first.
