On Cars

I have never owned my own car. Living in a giant metropolitan area as I do, this is becoming more and more problematic. While my roommate has stated on several occasions that she's more than happy to cart my butt around should I need it, that limits my transportation to bus schedules and her availability. Plus, I feel like a huge mooch, even when I do chip in for gas.

I would like to purchase a car. There are a couple of problems with this:

1) My credit sucks, due to some credit card debt from years and years ago.
2) I don't know anything about cars.
3) I have a lot of expenses in the upcoming year.
4) Insurance in Arizona is insanely expensive.

Any thoughts, ideas? Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Oooh, that's tempting. I'd want to take a looksee first, of course, but I think we should be able to work something out.

Sure thing. When we get together I'll bring him.

Actually, would you object very much to a diagnostic? I'd pay, of course, but my roommate has pointed out that the last accident she was in ended up screwing up a lot more things down the line.

Sure not a problem as long as you pay and is probably a good idea. The battery gave out today (but that was starting to go before the accident anyway and I was expecting it before that as well because it was time) so I might not be bringing him when we hang. But just let me know when you when you want to do that.

I'm good for any Saturday or Sunday. Is it going to need a new battery just to get it to the mechanic?

Just a new battery. We charged it tonight and I am taking it to work tomorrow
