<prompt> Human: Alright heres a little background: I am living on my own and my parents only pay my car insurance around 50-70, phone bill ballpark 50-80 for Verizon family line, and my last semester of college coming up400. So a couple months back I had saved up enough to get my first motorcycle. Something Ive always wanted to do and now I have a good enough job to do it. I have yet to tell my parents, and Im assuming they will be angry about it like most parents. I am now coming up with the end result of telling them I ride now.I will offer to them that I am going to pay for my last semester. I am also assuming they will want me to pay my insurancephone bill. I currently have a Saturn Vue thats worth around 4-5k. Combined monthly I would have to be paying now is 100-150. My question is: Should I sell my Vue for around 4k Buy a used reliable car for 2k Use the remaining 2k for car insurancephone bill? TL;DR parents might want me to pay phonecar insurance. Should I downgrade car to save money for these bills?  <response>: Should I sell my Vue for around 4k Buy a used reliable car for 2kI wouldnt. Transaction costs tax, license fees will eat all the benefits and then some, and youll likely end up with a lesser car in the end.
