Broken cable or linkage? Transmission trouble (?)
Automatic or manual trans? What am I missing here? Explain! If it is stuck in 3rd gear then it is obvious that it can't go in reverse.
who would buy a $1.7M car that doesn't reverse
If a 1989 Nissan Sentra clutch pedal quit working and the car is now stuck in reverse, it will need to be towed to a repair shop to fix the clutch. The transmission may also be damaged due to it being stuck in reverse.

YESAn automatic transmission car has a safety feature called a "Neutral Safety"It will not allow the starter to work if the shifter is not in either neutral or park. Many new cars will only start in park.On a manual transmission car the transmission being stuck in reverse probably means a serious failure inside the transmission that could jam things up to the point the engine wont start.
because there is no further GEAR in reverse.
it sounds to me that your hand brake is applied or stuck on.try releasing it or check the rear brakes.
I am very sorry but it is impossible. once you have picked a car you are stuck with it. The only way to reverse it is to start a new adventure!
If a transmission for a car becomes stuck between 1st and 2nd gear the fluid should be changed. Old fluid in a transmission can cause hard shifting and stuck gears.
Usually the car would run cool, unless the thermostat is stuck partially open.
Automatic or manual?
Never known of a car to have fog lights in rear , only reverse lights
