<prompt> Human: Im planning on getting my first car when my dad gets home in the next week or so. My budget is 1500 but I am willing to spend up to 1700. What should I be looking for? What add-ons if any should I look out for? And would it be better to pay all upfront with cash, or pay it off in payments? Any help in this would be appreciated.Edit: Thankyou for the information and suggestions, I will be thinking about them and talk things over with my dad before we really start looking.  <response>: at 1700 you dont have a choice with options..at 1700 you want the best conditioned car you can take...
