<prompt> Human: EDIT: Thanks for your input, everyone. Ill look a further into what kind of car Im interested in and go from there. Hi everyone.Im just about to start learning to drive. Im gunning for a job that would require I use a car sometimes picking up materials, but Im not sure if I could afford ownership. Specifically, how do I estimate the cost of insurance if I dont even have even a hypothetical car to get a quote on? How about estimating the cost of gas, and how much money I should save for repairsinspections etc? Ive never driven before and plan on buying a cheap used car something fuel efficient, or maybe a small truck?. Id like to be able to compare the potential range of car ownership costs to those of car sharing options, as I dont mind walking or using public transit most of the time outside of work. Thank you very much for your time.  <response>: You can get estimates online. You just plug in what kind of car you are looking at. Even if its not the exact one, it at least gives you an idea. Ive even gotten the VINs on a prospective cars online to plug in to get a quote.
