Purchasing a Vehicle During the Nine Days

Question

Hello, I sold my car and have been searching for a new one for several weeks. Is it permissible to purchase a car during the Nine Days? This could be a matter of loss, and being without a car with children in the meantime is a very great and basic need. Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello,
If a suitable offer comes your way during the Nine Days, and you cannot delay the purchase until after Tisha B'Av, it would be permissible for you to complete the purchase during the Nine Days.
