Ive had to turn down so many people because I dont have a car I wont feel like crying and kicking someone when I wait 45 minutes for a bus only for it to speed right past me, forcing me to wait another hour in whatever shitty weather conditions Cons Costs money. Im estimating $140/month for liability insurance, plus gas, plus $100 car payment for 2-3 years It can break down and Id be screwed Parking is a nightmare Unnecessary expense I could die Probably more but Im biased I want a car --- no <cite>Harpie posted [p:945333789] in ce, should...

MabusIncarnate 10/01/20 8:28:54 PM #16:	Toyota of Honda is a much more reliable vehicle, especially with higher mileage. The parts are pretty cheap also. Stack prices against blue book value also and make sure you aren't getting overcharged. I think even with that kind of down payment, and having a credit score, i'd anticipate a higher payment on the car, even if you only owe 4k on it. $200-$250 is a more realistic expectation.

Sometimes the day starts to glow and sometimes you'll see purple and big golden skies open and free just for you and it's just amazing TC.
