The car is fine, it is not what I would buy now knowing what I know, but selling it really isn't an option. It was bought brand new and probably would sell for less than I owe on it after only making payments for 8 months or so. When he first moved out he sent me an email saying he planned on paying $350 additional per month into our joint to help me with the car (I saved that email as well as ones from before when we were making decisions on which car to buy where he says he will start making payments on it once his car is paid off, which happened in Feb). Also in the emails I mention buying a used car and since he was still nice H then he talks about how I deserve a brand new car after dealing with the junk box I had before. Ha! He makes A LOT more money than I do and his company paid for his grad school whereas I have a lot of student loans. So I have more debt and make less money. I also paid the down payment on our house, so hopefully if we sell and make the money back on our house I can buy a condo or something.

The other issue I am worried about with moving, if I can't afford to buy a new place, we have 3 cats, all young, which I assume I would be taking with me. I've been checking craigslist and all the posts are for no animals or one cat. I think I'd like to move closer to the city but this will be an issue. I'm not willing to give up my pets either.

What a pain in the butt all this stuff is!
