Jim wants to buy a car, but he’ll probably only need it for a couple of years. he has a short commute to work, so he won’t be putting many miles on his vehicle. what’s the best transportation option for jim?

Assuming that the amount of money he buys the car for + gas, maintenance, etc. costs outweighs the cost saved by biking or public transportation (if he's OK with doing those two), he should probably consider walking, biking, or using public transportation for those few years
