<prompt> Human: My cars engine recently blew; its old, and has high mileage so its no longer worth anything. I need to buy a car ASAP, but I only have a little over 1000. Im young so I dont have established credit to get a loan from my bank. What would be my best option?  <response>: Ditch the plan to buy a car and instead start looking for a small under 50 cc engine motor scooter.Upside: It will save you on gas, tires, and insurance...and since you can sometimes find them around your target price range of 1000 then you will have reliable transportation without car payments or interest on a car loan Finally, check your local laws and you may discover that mopeds under 50 cc do not require a license and registration costs may also be minimal.Downside: You will have to dress according to weather conditions so a rain suit might be needed. Also, there is almost no cargo space so you might need to make smaller grocery shopping trips more often and use a backpack.
