<prompt> Human: Im from San Jose, California and Im a student at a local community college, but I will be transferring next semester though Im not sure where just yet. I currently drive a year 2000 Honda Odyssey and I use it for delivering part time. The problem is, well the car has lots of problems. Two years ago, the transmission gave out and we had to replace it for 500, power steering hydraulics system needed to be replaced for 250, and just last month, the radiator busted a leak and had to be fixed for 80. Not to mention the terrible MPG on it. Currently, I figure the cost of gas and future maintenance is going to be massive later on. My banker at Chase told me that the bank only does loans for cars no older than 5 years, less than 65k miles,must cost 7.5k or higher and must be from a dealer.The car I was looking at only for speculation, Im not dead set on the car is a year 2006 Prius with 265k miles on the odometer The guy selling it says thats nothing for a car like that but i think thats a bit far fetched, but I assume electrical motors and stuff should be relatively low maintenance and clean record for 5000 that I found on Craigslist. Now, I can do basic inspections such as looking for rust, fluid check, brakes, tires etc, but I also have 2 mechanics I know that can look at the car before I buy. Im planning to stick with delivery work so a prius or some really fuel efficient car is what Im after. I dont care about looks or racing performances of a car at all. At least not at this point because if I had the money, itd be a GTR or an Impreza, buut I dont wanna get pulled over, pay high insurance and maintenancegas costs.___Anyways, TL;DR how can I get a 5000-6000 loan payable in 6-12 months on no credit with relatively fair interest, and has the option to pay it all off at once if possible. Oh and I can surrender my van to the DMV for 1500.  <response>: 2006 Prius with 265k Holy shit do you know how close this thing is to falling apart? And how much repairs on a hybrid like the Prius can be!?Oh and I can surrender my van to the DMV for 1500So, why not save as much money as you can for the next 6 months, and then get the 1500 and buy a car for cash?PS, Fuck no dont spend 5-6k on a car with 265k miles on it.
