<prompt> Human: I have never owned a car, and will need one for a new job. After a quick scan of craigslist I see some decent options for 900-1500 range. The only problem is I am broke motherfucker, pretty much 0 in savings, with 700 in previous deposits that should come in next week or two. I will be making 2kmo at my new job. If I bought a beater for the summer and fall, how much should I expect to invest in it?Also any advice on buying and bartering is more than welcome.  <response>: Being late or missing work when car breaks down.
