<prompt> Human: I made a pretty big mistake in 2013 in buying a new, 2014 40k sports car that to this day has been a struggle for me to keep up with, but I just cant let it go. I put 11k down on the car, and it looks like I can get about 20-26k for it now, with 18k left on the loan. I want to get rid of it, as it is a huge waste of money seeing as I only drive to school and back and would love to get rid of these 450month payments that I am stuck with for another 4years.I am looking into getting something under 20k for sure, good on gas, etc. What I have a question about is should I be looking for another NEW car? Or should I look for a used one? What is the best for a college student averaging about 1k a month who will use it for mostly commuting to school around the city?Assistant: Youre 20. Why do you think you need a used car? Get a 5k car.Human: Eh every time I bring it up to my father he say something along the lines.. if you buy it used youre just buying everyone elses problems.  <response>: Sounds like dad needs to pay the bill if he is going to dictate your purchases.
