How to get a car before college starts???!!? help!///?

Question

So I just graduated high school in june. But I still have no car for college. the reason is my mom cannot afford one for me neither can i. i am very worried because college starts in like 5 weeks..i will be going to a local community college for about 2 years. my mom cannot afford one because she is a single mom raising 2 teens with no child support and she was laid off so i was gonna save up my work money for one but had to give almost all my paycheck to her for rent/food/gas bills, i had to use almost all mine because my brother is too lazy to help out and he had no homework and just smoked like all day so i had to do it all. what i didnt give out of my paycheck i needed for the union and toilet trees. my mom has tried but no one has been able to give me one yet. i need one. i cannot wait another year. i need to get back to school and make some new friends i am very depressed. any ideas? this is not mine nor my moms fault. should i call churches ? please help me!

Answer 1

still one

Answer 2

take out a student loan for it!!! its way better than an auto loan, doesnt hurt your credit, etc. you may need a co-signer with good credit. i suggest either taking out enough for a nice car that will last a while, or just enough for one that will last til you're done with school. most student loan payments dont have to be made til you're out of school. google student loans!!!

Answer 3

You need to consider the costs of having a car.  Do you think you can afford it?  (Gas, maintenance...etc.)
