Hello dear forum user, short to me: I am 18 years old and student in the 2nd semester. I now have my driver’s license for more than a year and slowly it is not enough for me to get the car of the parents only from time to time on the weekend. I need by public transport about 1h to university, my friend also lives 1h away from me, so that I spend about 3h on “slim” days in buses and trains. I have for some time also about cheaper alternatives to Car thought, but scooters are simply too dangerous and too weather-dependent. So now I am about to inform myself about cars to be financed as cheaply as possible. Especially often during my researches Ford KA, Fort Fiesta and VW Polo were recommended, however, I am also open for alternatives! The car should not be older than 3 years, preferably a year or new car would be my favorite. I do not want a 10 year old car, where I constantly need to reparate My parents and grandparents said that they would pay me a car, but that they could not afford the running costs (sprit, insurance, taxes). (I have to say that my parents own 2 cars and now the 3rd one in the family would come to it. ) So that means that the purchase costs would fall away for me. I also thought to have the car insured by my parents. With the high percentages I can still be At the moment I get 250€ a month and have savings of approx. 800€ with which I would pay all the running costs. My question is whether I would manage to finance the car over my entire study period (which will be about 4-5 years).
