<prompt> Human: Im 17 years old. I currently have a summer job earning 400-600 every 2 weeks. The job ends Sept 12th. I already have a car a 2005 Toyota Matrix but I want to upgrade to a newer car such as a Honda Civic or a cheap mustang. My car currently has a small hole in the bumper, a medium dent on the other bumper and my brother keyed my car so I couldnt sell it for much. How much is a newer civic going to cost me in CAD and how much do you guys recommend putting a down payment on. I know I need to work on getting a 2nd job aswell.  <response>: Your income ends on September 12, unless you can pay for the car in-full by then, you cant afford a new car right now. Your primary focus should be getting another job and planning for further education or career development to increase your income. It doesnt sound like this new car is a need either. If your current vehicle runs well and only has cosmetic damage, you shouldnt buy another one until you can pay cash, and youve taken care of other financial priorities first.
