<prompt> Human: So Im a college student, currently driving a 2011 Toyota Corolla that I inherited. I currently work part-time at a coffee shop and do tutoring on the weekends. I can go into the details of about how much I make a month around 1300 a month take-home but the important thing is that I dont pay rent or for my tuition. I only pay for my gas, my food, and any other extracurricular stuff. So my situation is that my Rolla just isnt cutting it. I go camping and rock climbing a lot and I need something thats a little better off-road. Is it reasonable for my to try and trade in my Corolla to upgrade to a used Crosstrek or similar or should I hold out the next year and a half until I graduate and get a job and get a new car then?Thanks for the input!  <response>: No, you do not need a new car. You just want a new car. You currently do not make much money at all, and you likely dont have great credit. Depending on the mileage, that looks to be 5-6 grand or so youd get from it. Cheapest crosstreks in my area go for 12-13k. Wouldnt really recommend this.
