    Where I live down town has one grocery store and it is the expensive chain. A family could save money with a cheap used car.

      I doubt it is enough to offset the cost of purchase, fuel, insurance, maintenance, registration, and in many areas property taxes. Driving even a cheap used car is rather expensive.

        Not entirely, but cars are useful tools so a few other things as well. Don’t forget that large family implies lots of bus pases while the car has the.same cost.
