my recommendation is to fix the car AND buy a less expensive bike... there are some out there that are built more for durability/low cost compared to the higher end bikes... start working out by time and increase... it won't be very long (as long as you are consistent...) to work up to doing the commute...
you might also check into any local riding clubs that handl d/c level riders where they aren't dropped...
I was nervous about joining a club because I was worried about what speed/distance they were going to ride so I worked up to about 15 miles for a ride before I joined up.
good luck.
