Man get you a Honda Civic Ex and call it a day. You live in Brooklyn, I doubt you really need a car note

Is it really worth buying a car in NY?

seems like you’ll be wasting money when it would probably be cheaper to commute and use public transit

car maintenance and car insurance in BK might not be worth it

honestly fukk “fly”.

go for economical. I hope you livd in Canarsie or some shyt like that otherwise a care is a bad idea in BKLYN if your money isn’t super long.

FYI everything is 5k overpriced right now I wouldn’t do it breh. My strategy is live central. (Stuy) and avoid rising fuel costs by taking public trans

The World, but from BK
Car insurance company about to tap your pockets good bruh. Just a warning. If you can avoid it BK HAS THE HIGHEST RATE IN THE CITY. Got my first hooptie while living there and started out paying low 200 a month then by the time I moved on Iike 150 just for liability. I bought the damn car for only $3500. Lasted 8 years and sold it for $1100. This was about 7 years ago.

first car shouldn't be some fly sh*t especially if your parking on the street in BK. just do toyota/honda off craigslist/private seller under 6k cash. the older you will thank you.

Honda or Toyota

The GOAT for first car buyers. The underrated thing people look over when buying the car is the high stress of repairs and worrying about certain things. But these two cars rarely are in the auto mechanic shop getting worked on. And if they are, you are paying $40-100 tops on repairs. Plus its safe and allows you to get used to driving day in day out
