<prompt> Human: Im almost 21 years old, no credit, and nobody I can ask to be a cosigner. Im about to start a full time job this coming Monday, 11 buckshr I know not a lot and I have almost 2 grand in savings. Im looking to move out of a very abusive home by June, and I live in Southern California. My current car is a very beat up 1997 Honda Civic that is slowing dying on me, had tons of issues before I was given it and has started to overheat a lot recently. I need a new car but Im honestly clueless on what is the best option for me. If I move out in June, Im looking at rent being between 500-700month for a room and utilities. My car insurance is 100month Ive been in two minor accidents since I was 17, and I get this insurance discounted because my parents are veterans, not sure if that is relevant. I hope to get some money from my tax return soon. I cant live with this abuse at home anymore, Im honestly terrified for the next few months. If anybody can give me any advice, Id greatly appreciate it.  <response>: Fix the civic, thats your best bet. Spend the 2k on repairs. Theyre good cars
