<prompt> Human: So Im thinking about buying a car. Im currently studying business at college and Ill get my undergraduate business degree in about 1.5 years. I work at a car rental and when Im in school, I make about 1.5k per month but during the summer Im making 6.5k-7k per month which is about 4.5k after tax. I currently have about 7k in the bank and a car worth around 5-6k. The main reason Im thinking about buying a car is because my car is high maintenance and kind of a junk and Im in quite an advantageous position when it comes to buying a car. Im considering buying a new car, out of the box which would cost about 28k at the car sale but since I work at a car rental and know the owner quite well I could get the brand new car imported for about 22k. The car is known for low maintenance and has a 7 year warranty and its about 2.5-3x more economical than my current car. In about 2 months I will be able to pay the car up front. To me it seems like a no brainer but Im also thinking about if it would be better to invest the money I have after the summerabout 20k and just drive my current car until it has nothing left. Please share your opinion and let me know if you find a better way for me.EDIT: Btw I dont live in the US, I live in Scandinavia so im not buying some luxury car, its a 2017 Kia Rio  <response>: You make it sound like those are the only two options.Buying a reliable used car for under 10,000 would be your lowest-cost option in most analyses.
