<prompt> Human: Hello, Im a 19 year old college student. I alternate living at my parents during breaks and living on campus during the school year. The problem I have is whether or not to buy a car. I currently have about 6000 saved up, although 2000 of that is set aside for the tuition bill and another 500 for textbooks. Now, a good friend of mine, her grandmother is getting too old to drive and is selling her 2003 Toyota Camry for about 3500. Should I try to buy it? Currently, Im using my parents old97 Subaru, but that thing isnt in the best shape, and I have to share it with my sister. I wouldnt be bring the car to college with me either, as my college has very good bus service. My parents also might be willing to help pay for part of it. What do you guys think?Edit: I should also include that Im working35-40 hours a week, at 10hour. When I go to college, it goes down to 12-14 hours a week.  <response>: Sounds like a reasonable option if you NEED a car.. but you said so yourself that you will only drive it on breaks, just tough it out for a couple of years, the option to buy a good used car will come again in the future.
