<prompt> Human: So I just turned 18 and going to university. I have almost 4000 saved up in my bank account. My parents are paying for basically all my education and I just need my own spending money. Im hoping to be able to buy this car in around a year and dont know if its possible or even worth it. I have a steady part time job which pays 14hr. Id really appreciate any advice you would give me on this and how I can reach my goal. ThanksAssistant: Buying a new car is almost never the best financial decision. Buy a 2015 or newer pre-owned Honda for 6,000 less. Save the new new cars for when your have an established career. Human: The car is a 2017 model, so Im thinking next year it will be 2 years old and will cost less, also I would be willing to buy it used.Assistant: Whats the make and model? Human: Its a Honda Civic Hatchback 2017  <response>: You cant afford a 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback in your current financial state. Wanting something and being able to afford it are two very different things.Put the money towards a significantly cheaper car. I think youre severely overestimating how reliably you can work your 14hr part time job in college. You can find great reliable cars thatd last you well into your first adult job for 10k. Buy the Civic Hatch when you have a stable, full time job.
