<prompt> Human: More about myself: 22, Male, have my license, no crime history, doesnt drink, doesnt smoke, no medical problems, credit score about 750, no debt well about 150 on Best Buy credit card but nothing significant, no outside financial support parents are out of the picture and my friends are trying to make it by themselves, nor would I ask anyone without feeling terrible about myself, I live in Northwest Ohio, and soon I will be able to put away about 700 a month. Currently have 997 saved away, want to buy a car soon but not today so my budget isnt set in stoneMy thoughts: I would like to get a used brand new car. Ive seen some brand new cars sitting around 14k and that doesnt seem too bad to me but if I was sure I wouldnt be asking here firstReasons are: Payments not all down at once like getting a car from a listing Life if I take good care of a brand new car I can at least know its reliable or the warranty will cover some I havent exactly been blessed in life and I have the biggest fear if I invest money in a used car to save money, in the end it will just die on me and Ill end up without a car and an empty bank.I have also been thinking it could be a motorcycle. New motorcycles are a lot cheaper the insurance would be cheaper as well. I dont have a license for one of those yet, also it may be difficult in the wintertime. But currently I ride my bicycle to work so I see it as a step up either way. I would also not be able to transport people and things like groceries easily but it would still be easier than my bike right now. Driving a motorcycle makes the road a big game of accidental number cars where you will always loseI would really like some thoughts and ideas to help make this happen sorta soon the mornings are already starting to get pretty chilly and I will try to keep up with this thread as much as I can. The only thing reliable about my ISP that may or may not rhyme with Fuckeye Fraudband is that it is not reliable at all.Edit1: So BRAND NEW is bad. I see people recommending Corollas. Any others makesmodels to look out for?Edit2: I am going to read every comment that comes in. I probably wont respond to it unless its a question about getting more details or refining my question but I will at least upvote itEdit3: I have learned to fear other drivers more, especially if one is on a motorcycle.Edit4: What price andor year range should I narrow down to? How much should I have ready in cash beforehand?  <response>: Your first car should probably not be brand new. A few years old dependable car like a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic is the sweet spot. Brand new youre gonna pay a large markup, if you get a car 3-5 years old its New enough that it wont need constant repairs. Cars like corollas and civics are cheap to fix, cheap to maintain, your insurance will be a lot less, and you can still do monthly payments you dont have to buy it in a lump sum. Some people buy a brand new car because they want a brand new car and thats fine. But the right financial decision is to buy used. And not luxury car used, but economy car used
