I am going to dread getting a new car when the time comes because I don't think I could afford a brand new car and I am too leery of getting a used car fearing of getting ripped off. A friend told me you should always take it to the mechanic first before buying it and ask for papers on it to show it has been taken in and what needs to be done or what work had been done on it. But this is pretty hard to do when you get nervous in these situations.
Yes, I hated the whole experience of looking for a car, so part of my mistake was that I rushed to get it over with. I did have the thought of taking it to a mechanic, but I didn't have the extra money at the time, and I was staying to get really anxious about it. And it was hard for me to think of all the things I should check and ask the dealer for in writing and such. The biggest reason I was anxious is because my grandpa told me that he wanted me out in a month, with an apartment and car and everything, and that made everything that much harder.
The annoying thing is that as soon as I tell my grandpa about this, which I will have to because I will need to borrow his vehicle now, I know he is going to tell me, "So what did you learn from this experience? Maybe you should have taken my advice and not bought the first thing you saw."
No, maybe I shouldn't have come to live here in the first place. The only reason I started looking at cars was because I had to have one in less than a month or I'd be homeless and without even a car, which would make me jobless as well. In fact, right after buying the car he kicked me out, and I had to sleep in it for over a week before they told me that I could come back, presumably because they felt obligated as they never apologized for what they did that made me have a meltdown in the first place. I freaking hate living here.
I always hate it when I hear families treat their family members that way. The only exception is if the person is abusive or not respecting their property.

I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm hoping that they will allow me to defer payments, and just make payments to pay off the repair costs and then start paying off the car. I won't know until I talk to the manager again.
