If you can’t afford to put $1k down on a car, you should be shopping for $200 junkers on Craigslist, not going to a dealer and expecting credit.
And if you can’t get to a job because you don’t have a car, where are you going to come up with $200?
And then when his $200 junker breaks down and he can’t get to work and he loses his job, he got what he paid for and it’s all his fault. Got it.
I drove $200 junkers for ten years after college. They are great becuase I could usually get a couple of years out of them and I never had to lock them up or worry about them, and I saved a lot of money. The repairs, at worst, were like a car payment or two over the course of a year.
Had to get better wheels when I had young kids.

There is no such thing as a $200 junker ... scrapyards are paying $200-$250 for cars to crush ,, anything that runs is at least $800 and if it has working a/c it’s $1500+ ... a $800 car still has the same insurance and tag/title/registration expenses as a more reliable $4,000 used car and probably burns more fuel... The repair expenses that someone in his position can’t budget for makes the more expensive car much more attractive,,, what good is a $1000 (tmv) junker bought at a BHPH lot for $2500 if it’s going to get repo’d in under 6 months when it breaks down in a major way and you can’t afford to fix it. He needs the leap of faith from a self financing dealer or he needs to ride the bus.
