Seems like a tough spot.
What is the value of the car after repairs?
If some positive value, I suggest doing something like this -
Borrow $14k for repairs (has to be reputable not a hack job)
Sell car for $19k
Buy used car for $5k
Repay bridge loan.
Continue paying original 21k car loan
She could keep the car, but then she’d have 2 loans, can she afford this?
Downside for voluntary repo is that it sounds like the car has very little value at present, especially if repo’d. they’ll come likely after her for pretty much the full loan. But if the repairs are more than the value of the car she may have few better options.
