Would you be able to push a cart?
When I lived in a high rise downtown apartment for several years, my car was parked in a multi level garage. I put my cart in the car and loaded all the grocery bags into it to get my groceries from the garage into the building and up to my 17th floor apartment. City living. All in one trip.

Versa cart is what I have, available through Amazon.

I've had excellent luck buying cars 2-3 years old since the late '90's. I've bought from CarMax, private parties, Hertz ( bought a great Nissan Altima from them that was about a year old), and dealers. My current car was 3 years old coming off a lease and had 27,000 miles on it when I bought it in 2019. I don't drive a lot and it just turned 42,000 miles. Only normal maintenance since I bought it.
