<prompt> Human: My 2004 Ford Escape is at 160,000 miles and has become a money pit. My financial situation is: 20 yo, living at home, going to community college, working full time taking home 600week. I have 5000saved to put towards a car as of now so if I were to buy one I would need to finance it without my parents co-signing. The reason I want to lease is I would have a reliable car that I wouldnt have to worry about. My only concern is that I drive approximately 60 miles a day for work but I figured I could just buy the car when the lease is up. I am also sick of driving beater cars like I have been and want something nice.  <response>: Being tired of driving beaters doesnt equal being able to afford a brand-new car. Wait until you are done with college and have worked out what your real-world budget will be before committing yourself to such a large purchase.
