<prompt> Human: Sorry if this has been posted already, Im on mobile and cant search. Ive been out of work for just over almost a year and Im desperately trying to find a way to make more money. Ive got a 602 credit score and only a couple thousand dollars to my name. I went to a car lot today and I realized that I dont have the power in this situation; Im pretty much at the mercy of the dealers when trying to buy something decent Ill be able to use as a source of income. My question is, as someone that has pretty bad credit, is my best option to buy a 2000 beater or go with one of those lots that offer loans to folks in situations like mine for something far newer and more reliable?Edit: thanks for the advice. I had a feeling it would be a bad call to go for a loan, but I appreciate you guys telling me straight. Im going to take the cash I have and use it to get these certs.  <response>: I think you should consider a different occupation since you arent going to be able to secure a vehicle that is sufficient to use for Uber without taking a bad loan.
