With the exception of cities like New York, a car is not a luxury item in the US; it is a necessity. We might quibble about the kind of car but, without learning more about hers I'm not sure we could come to a consensus.

You can do a lot of fixing on a Honda for the cash value of that Mercedes, alternatively, trade both for a reliable one that is a lot cheaper to own and operate. A Mercedes is a reliable car if it is maintained well and if you're living on food-stamps and are unemployed that value will drop very rapidly because you can no longer afford to maintain it. Once it stops running its resale value is nil, so better sell it before then.
