<prompt> Human: I am23,f and I need a new car. I currently drive a 1990 jeep Cherokee which gets 16mpg and it has a broken steering column which is not safe to drive. I only use it around town for grocery shopping and errands. I am about 3,000 dollars in debt which leaves me with no cash for a down payment. My parents will not help and will not co-sign on any loan. My monthly income is around 1,450 estimated. With that being said what would be the best way to go about getting a new car. I do however have the option on replacing the steering column to the tune of 500 with labor included. But the windows barley work and there is no ac. What would you recommend???  <response>: Fix the steering column and one window. A car payment isnt worth it if you can get by just driving around town.
