Used car off of fb marketplace or parents car???
Hello everyone,
I’m currently in hs as a senior and need suggestions on what to do about getting a car. My parents have been reluctant about getting me a car since I go to college in one year and probably won’t need one but it’s been kind of nuisance in multiple ways. So my 2 options I have (if I convince them) would be to
A. Get my dads car (like 90k miles on it)
Pros: I am familiar with the car in terms of how it drives, it doesn’t have some underlying problems and you don’t have to go out your way to search for something
Cons: My dad is driving a lot(400+ miles a week, this would change to much less tho after I finish hs) so if he got a new car it would get beat up a lot. Getting a new car, especially the one he is looking at, is expensive.
B. Find a cheap car on fb marketplace (max 15k?, could fluctuate if that would help)
Pros: Cheap, won’t get that much depreciation, won’t have to worry as much if something happens to it
Cons: Risky, not sure how it works and what to do, complicated and the car would be worse than what I would get from A.
Honestly anything helps even if it’s suggesting something completely else. Thanks you
