<prompt> Human: Hey guys,Something Ive been seriously considering and am in need of is a new car. Thing is, Im currently a student and renting with a massively expensive phone compared to my other monthly expenses. Im currently working part time and on Centrelink some government thing, subsidised income whilst you study and shitIve got exactly 10k in savings atm, which is enough for a car, though I dont want to blow it on a new car and have nothing for the future. Which then means that in order to get something thats half decent a loan is my only answer. Ive crunched the numbers as best I can, and Ive worked out that if I pay out my phone contract, i I should just barely, be able to afford the loan and the insurance, the loan would be about 45 a week for 5 years, and insurance would go up by another 40 a month. This however would leave me doing it tough every other week. I honestly have no idea what to do about this, or whether I should wait or not. To top it all off, the torque converter in my 95 trash heap is on its way out apparently it could go at anytime? Iuno, some thing that the mech told me at least and the girlfriend is moving about 2 hours away for uni, So I want to get something before it goes, and something that will make the journey without much of a problem. What else do I need to look at?Ive never done this and need some serious help  <response>: Standard pf answer. Spend 5-6k on a used Honda Toyota or similar.
