Hello!

My car finally exploded this afternoon and I need your help to find a new/used car before Monday.

About Me:

California resident

Credit Score: 714 w/ two accounts in good standing

Current account balance: $2,284.75

Outstanding credit card debt: $5,246.23

Savings: $100.00

Monthly income: $1,600.00 (gross)

Total fixed monthly expenses: Less than $100.00 (live at home)

No tickets or accidents on record.

I have no big expenses in the foreseeable future and am flexible on the type of car (I can drive manual). I ideally want something that will last me the next five years with minimal repairs.

I only drive to and from work (15 mile, round-trip), although I would LOVE to have a car that I could drive out of town (~250 miles) without having to opt for a rental car, maybe 6 times out of the year.

I have NO idea what to look for and need your help.
<bot>: Old car broke down. Need advice: Should I buy new or used? What make/model should I look for? What other tips do you have?
