Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed.

I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?
