Question

Is it possible to buy a car within about 3 weeks on $9.50 an hr/ with an average of 70 hrs every 2wks?

Answer 1

No way.... How often do you get paid.... Thats only 550-600 bucks every 2 weeks... that is not enough for a used car...

Answer 2

you might beable to put a down payment on a cheap car if you can find yourself a cosigner or if your credit is good.  

but the real question is: how will you afford the gas and the insurance?

Answer 3

Using the math you supplied, you'd only make $997.5 in three weeks. If you have no other expenses, I think you can buy a decent used car somewhere.

Answer 4

If you want a project or a model, yes. If you want something that's going to be a decent and reliable driver, then you're gonna need closer to three months.

Answer 5

if the car costs about $500 then yeah you can, unless you have more money put away?

Answer 6

I don't know exactly what you mean by "within 3 weeks".  You can buy a car over the weekend.

$9.50 per hour (at full time) comes out to about $18K to $19K per year.  You should be able to get some sort of financing (assuming your other expenses are within reason).

Good Luck...
