Search Results: buying a new car

Since I totaled my car last month, it has made things a lot more difficult to get around. Thankfully, I'm ok. I didn't have any injuries, cuts, bruises, etc but since I am still living in the suburbs of Chicago, it is super hard to get around, even just to do basic stuff like get groceries, go to the gym, and other errands.

Having talked to this with my parents, they said I could either buy their car off of them and not move to the city. I could also not get a car and save to move into the city to be closer to work where I won't need a car, but it'd in the spring/summer time making it difficult to get around in the winter. Otherwise I thought about getting a beater car that I would just use for local driving until I move to the city.

It is not an easy decision at all, because having a car in the suburbs is MANDATORY. While I do have friends to pick me up, I can't rely on them all the time as they have their own lives. Not that I expect that anyways. Lyfts/Uber rides are also more expensive out here in the suburbs than in Chicago. I used to drive for Lyft myself.
