I went to two other local dealerships after that and didn't have a much better experience with either. They all tried to con me into buying $5k+ cars.
What should I do, /o/? My car is fucked and I have no way to get back and forth from work, and I can't find anything for sale in the immediate area that isn't a colossal piece of shit.

Wasn't this proven to not do shit?

Just fix your car if something is actually wrong.

Well my car won't work at all and the mechanic I had it towed to said someone put sugar or sand or something in my tank and apart from that listed about a hundred other things wrong with it. It won't run over 10 mph and sounds like a space ship taking off.

Really try fixing it yourself first.
What did the mechanic say actually happened?
If he was vague, he doesn't fucking know.
Buy a cheap scanner and go to work.
If it really is something in your tank that fucked with it do this:
Flush / drain tank
Flush / drain fuel lines
New fuel pump
New spark plugs
And likely new fuel injectors, maybe, depends on the manufacturer how much shit they can take.
It ain't that hard.
You don't need to fix the "hundred other things" right now, you just need the fucker to run down the road somewhat reasonably while you fix anything else.
If you puss out after that:
Go on craigslist and do a search with a price limit of 2000 and a lowest price of like 500 or something so you eliminate boomers manipulating the search with $1 $20 in the price field.
