<prompt> Human: Hello friends.x200B;So I am fresh grad and I might get a job offer soon with a salary of 70,000. My first real money Ill ever make it in my young adult life. The only problem is I will need to get a car for the commute and my parents do not intend to help me or they are playing hardball either way they are being difficult. I am also totally broke and have a trash credit score 619. The only money in the future I might be able to put down for a deposit will be 1000 from my apartments security deposit I receive in the next month.x200B;So I need a car, Ive looked around and I am just overwhelmed with how much is out there. Id like a coupe, but I am open to other options. One thing that is essential is that the car has to be reliable and the expectation is that I will get a car that might have to have a client in it occasionally, so it doesnt have to be a limo but it cant be a complete dump. My commute to the new job is about 70 miles there and back meaning a 10k mileyr lease might be useless.x200B;What do I do? Any suggestions would be helpful. I feel like I am on the cusp of adulthood here, but this is my next step and I dont even know if I can do it with my terrible credit score. Also, for the time being I live rentbill free since someones bound to ask and it is relevant.x200B;Lastly and this is a big maybe, but I might be able to get my parents to sign the car and I cosign it or something. Furthermore, my father did already tell me he would cosign a car for me. But thats in the air, and I dont know what type of annoying obligations that would come with. Thanks for anyone who can help a young adult out with some wisdom and advice.  <response>: There is no reason to get a new car. Cars devalue the most in the first 4-6 years while still being in good condition. This means that you can get a good car for 5-8k and it is still relatively new. If you are looking for even cheaper then go for 10 years old and you should be able to snag one for 3k and under. Check craigslist and used car lots.Look especially for reliable cars with low maintenance costs. Honda accordcivic, Toyota camy, Hyundais, nissans. Camrys and accordscivics are the most dependable with the lowest costs.Make sure the car you get is under 100k miles. I am personally in an accord and it is running great at 230k miles with no major repairs.
