<prompt> Human: Im a full-time college student working part-time. I attend a community college, going to transfer to a university and graduate with a degree in Computer Science.My junker just broke down and I need a new car, very soon. The problem is I only have 1,500 to my name. I make about 600 monthly, and my current bills come up to 350 a month.In my eyes, I have two options. I can finance a car Ive been looking at 10 yo corollas, but the issue is with this is that my bills monthly would go up to about 650 a month, due to a much higher insurance bill. This is right over 100 of what I make a month. I can afford it by holding back the majority of the 1.5k I have now and using it to pay for the insurance, and using my income to spend on the rest. Then, using money saved up over winter break and maybe, if I have to, student loans to cover the next semester until I can build up my budget again in the summer.My other option is to buy a used car. This is what my family is pushing for me to do. My line of thinking is that whatever car I can afford with 1,500 is just going to either put me in this same position within the year, if that, or will need more work done on it than I can afford.What do you guys think?  <response>: Buy a 1,000 junker
