<prompt> Human: I have gone through 4 used cars in the last two years due to bad luck. Nearly every time, the car seems like its in good shape and then 6 months-1 year later disastrous events take place, rendering my car inoperable or financially impossible for me to take care of needs new engine, engine issues that cost 5k to fix, etc. Even my most recent car purchase was a 2006 Honda Civic with less than 100k miles on it, and Im sitting at the mechanic currently while theyre telling me Im going to need a brand new engine on it. I spent 5k on it a year ago and I dont know if it would be worth it to replace the engine if its already going into 100k miles. Should I at this point just finance a new Honda Civic or other reliable car that will be under warranty and last me a long time? Im a student and also a delivery driver for my work and I cant afford these constant issues Ive been experiencing with my used cars.I make about 12-1400 per month, bills are 600month, I have no debt besides student loans of 5k and 1800 in savings. Credit score of around 689 out of 850.  <response>: Get a mechanic to check them out before buying. Also you need to be sure to check fluids and belts on a regular basis
