<prompt> Human: Im not sure which subreddit to post this as Im only familiar with the pf. But in the month of March 2016 not sure what day it was I bought a 2006 Mazda 3i from a tow company who buys cars and then resells them. They had their own car lot and the Mazda 3i seemed to be the best lookin car in shape on the lot so I chose it and bought it. And of course this was my first car and I didnt know anything about cars, and I was too impatient to wait on my uncle to come with me who knew a lot about cars.But anyways, I bought the car and the next day it started having problems that wasnt there the first day I checked it out. It started making this knocking sound as I was driving it which I later found out was the engine. I called the tow people up and they accused me of doing something to the car and they would absolutely not come take a look at it or give me my money back. So I kept it and it kept on having various of problems it had a check engine within a week such as coolant problems, brake problems, gas gauge problems, made a rattling sound near the back bumber, made a squeaky sound, it smoked a lot, battery went out, etc ,etc.I spent nearly 800 on that car for repairs in 3 months mind you I am an 18-year old college student who was already broke to begin with and just last Friday it completely did not start at all! I had two people come jump the car with jumper cables and a power box, and then was later told that my motor may have seized up from over heating and I may need a new motor! So now Im trying to save up ato east 350 to get a second opinion on the car from a mechanic and I just dont know what to do anymore. This car is making me depressed and family is constantly blaming me from buying it and saying its my fault that I will have to be missing from work a lot because my car wont start and theres nothing they can do about it.Im thinking of just junking the Mazda and get a new car for 1,500 that I was suppose to save for my apartment to go to nursing school. I really hate this car and I really detest the people who sold it to me who also stopped answering my calls after the 3rd day from buying it from them. What should I do?  <response>: you should have waited for you uncle. Also, getting a carfax is good in certain situations too.
