Pay off your debt, invest when you're balance sheet is clean. Ditch the $17,000 car, which by the way, is a depreciating asset.

You are sitting on 55k debt AND paying interest monthly with the power to instantly pay off 70% and enough income to pay off your debt within a year easy. You don't need a 3 year plan.

Be debt-free first and invest only after.
Selling his car and placing everything on his student loan isn't a wise move either.

What happens if he loses his job? has no savings? Food? Rent?

And I think everyone knows his car is a depreciating asset. But it's not just a car for him, it's pretty sentimental. He's not in dire straits from a loan shark to pay his loan.
