<prompt> Human: I have been using my moms car for a few months. I work full time and go to college full time as well. I have about 2,500 saved up. I can buy a shitty car but i drive a lot. About an hour a day. So i want something reliable that has good milage.My mom is no longer letting me use her car for school and work so im kind of in a weird posistion. I turn 18 tomorrow and i was thinking about leasing a 10k car with a decent down payment.I dont really have any help. So i was wondering what i can do.  <response>: You cant lease a 10k car. You lease new cars. No new cars cost 10k. And as was already said, dont lease. Youll go over mileage most likely and its a bad financial choice in the first place. You cant afford a new car. Youre not going to be able to get a loan at any reasonable interest rate.
