<prompt> Human: Honestly I was thinking of buying a decent car for 3000 but that looks pretty difficult. I dont want anything that will continually break down or require frequent repairs.  <response>: Look for a cheap, but fairly reliable, used car. Learn to do basic maintenance and repairs on it yourself.Regardless of what people think about buying cars in general, first cars should rarely if ever be new. New drivers are far more likely to get into accidents. You dont want to waste money on something brand new only to wreck it.
