<prompt> Human: Im 17 about to be 18 at the end of the month. I wanted to lease a car as soon as possible. I can do 1000 down and up to 200 a month on payments. Ive talked to a few dealerships and they were down with it. my issue is every insurance quote I get is 300-500 a month. I just dont have the money to afford that. I work 15 hours a week at minimum wage and also a high school student. I live with my grandma and she cant help me financially, I dont have parents and no other family. The only family I have is my dads family but they hate my dad and will think Im a bum just like him if I ask for money. I have been looking forward getting a car for so long and Im so crushed to think I cant do it. Is there anything I havent thought of that can help me?? I also do qualify for the Good Student discount with car insurance  <response>: I work 15 hours a week at minimum wage and also a high school student. You cant afford a car car insurance on a part time minimum wage job.End of story.
