I think so. If you just need to get from point A to point B and are trying to save money. Gives you time to put some money away for a nicer car in the future.

Yeah for learning and u have less earnings

yes if you're just starting out. it can be a bargain to buy a secondhand car that's only been a few years since its initial release. might find some gems

Depends on various factors!

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April).

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars
