<prompt> Human: I am a 22 yr old who has a full time time job and I am very interested in purchasing a 30,000 car. Can someone explain to me everything I should account for. Thanks.  <response>: Can someone explain to me everything I should account for. Well, actually, no. No one is going to be able to explain everything to you in a post here. Youre going to have to invest some time reading other sites devoted to the car buying process edmunds.com is a good place to start. Then, if you have specific questions, Im sure youll get tons of replies here. But the Hi, Im new to X. Please tell me everything about it! sort of post is nearly useless. This is a topic that people write books on, not something summarized in a 10 minute response.
