I figure most young people that don’t have their parents hook them up drive used cars. What is the most common year and model for a used car owned by a college student?

I’m 16 and getting ready to buy my first car! IT will be a used car and my budget is about 00…any tips on buying? What should I look for? I don’t want to get ripped off and I’ll be paying for all of it myself. My parents are not being very helpful.thank you!

I really want my own car. I can’t afford a new one, so I’m looking for a used one. I’ve been looking through the newspaper and I see all the car ads…Are they legit? What exactly do I need to do?
Also, how can I convince my parents to let me get my own car now? I currently share one with my sister, and in about a year or so, she’ll have to take it down to college, so I will for sure need my own. But I would really like my own soon.

In April, I moved across state lines to move back in with my parents due to financial difficulties, and have since been unable to find another job. Louisiana, the new state I live in now, won’t even let me have unemployment due to some "error code" that’s way over my head.

Anyway, this morning my car was repossessed. It is in a seriously upside-down loan: the value of it is probably no more than 2000 dollars, while I owe something like 9,000-11,000 on it. I do not understand repossession laws or bankruptcy, or whether bankruptcy should even be an option.

I owe approximately 3,900 dollars in other unsecured debts (fees, credit cards, deficits owed to schools, etc), plus whatever mystery debts I might have that I’ve completely forgotten about. I owe around 15k in student loans, which from my understanding can’t be effected by bankruptcy and are the main source of my problems. I don’t think this is a reasonable amount of money to file for a bankruptcy, but I’m not sure of what other options I might have.

Should I attempt to negotiate with the creditor of the car to maybe have it returned? (I don’t have work — but being that I’m 40 miles out of civilization, without a car, I will never be able to GET work.)

Should I surrender the car completely and let the bank resell it? Would I still owe the money left on the balance of the loan?

My long-term goals are to try and get back into school to get a degree after getting a secured job, but with my credit destroyed, I’m not sure how best to repair it from this point forward. Any advice would be appreciated. (( And while I know someone’s going to come on here and say I’m a deadbeat, bla bla bla, I’ve applied to over 400 jobs since I’ve been here and have only had failed, expensive interviews — you try doing that with only 8 dollars to your name. I know I work hard, so don’t waste your time or mine. ))
As usual, people post the "it’s your fault!" responses with no useful information — I’m looking for advice. You are not aware of anything that is or is not my "fault", for all you know a contributing factor to my move may have been that I need to take care of my elderly parents. I know what I owe and what I am responsible for — I am just looking to move forward without getting taken advantage of.

Most of my friends try to convince their parents to buy them crazily expensive and nice cars. Though those cars are cool, without much practice, they would pretty much wreck it, which is a shame.

But, since im the only one that feels that way, am i wrong? Is it smart to practice on a used car before getting a nice one?
