<prompt> Human: This was an unexpected pregnancy. Initially I was hopeful we could delay a car purchase until closer to our due date August. My significant other just accepted a position 30 miles away that is essential to her professional development but is low paying and will necessitate the purchasing of a vehicle. I need to figure out what we can afford going forward and if a car loan is the only viable option, what interest rates we should look for.My net pay after taxes and health insurance deductions is 30kyr.Credit score is 715, no cc debt.I have 7k in student loan debt. my monthly bill is 90.My rent is 700 currently, will increase to 850 after may.Internet is 45month, necessary for work.Electric is 60monthI dont pay for a phone bill, hers is 50month.I do not own a vehicle but can rely on cycling to work.She will be making 15hr at 25 hrsweek, but has 8k in credit card debt so the vast majority of her earnings will need to go towards that until its paid.I have 3k in liquid cash. She has 1k. We have already obtained most of the essentials in preparation of the baby outside of food but will additionally need to look at child care options.Im fearful of putting 3k on a craigslist car that will be a money sink or facilitate buying a more expensive car in a year. Looking at used vehicles in my market, cars under 100k miles generally are not below 7-8k. Should I look at financing options or should I roll the dice and pick up something without warranty on craigslist or an alternative site. If financing looks like the way to go what would be a reasonable interest ratemonthy payment given my credit score and information Ive provided?  <response>: Even if you get a car, can you pay for license, registration, and insurance?
