<prompt> Human: Some background information: Im 18 years old, going to college in a different part of the state in about a month, and my old car stopped working completely a few months ago and is now gone. Im now extremely inconvenienced by the lack of a permanent ride. I was looking to spend 1.5-3k on a car to use for a part time job before I go to college in around a month and on breaks from school already have a part time food delivery basically set should I get car. My family has advised against buying a car before I go to college as Im likely not bringing my car there due to the fees it requires in parking for the school, and they say there may possibly be issues with the car sitting there while Im away and the cost of insurance while Im not using it. However I really need an easy way to get around and really want to earn more money with a part time. Advice on what I should do? Listen to my parents or wait longer on getting a car, possibly till next summer or longer.  <response>: Youre going to spend 1.5k-3k on a car you will only use for 1 month and will sit around until you come back home during school breaks? Listen to your parents.How are you going to get around for a month? Bike, scooter, Uber ... those arent going to come close to costing you 1500.
