Why can't you drive the van if you get laid off? Seriously, the last thing you need to be doing right now is buying a vehicle if you don't have 3-6 months of expenses in an emergency fund.

The logistics of three kids would make it nearly impossible on a day to day basis.

I have an emergency fund: what I don't have is money set aside for another vehicle. I'm trying to avoid dipping into the e-fund for a vehicle.

I like the idea of saving money & approaching my employer later on. Might be the most logical course of action.

I definitely wouldn't purchase anything now because you would also be responsible for the insurance. Save as much as possible and hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
