    How about some basics?

    Where are you living? West Coast is more expensive than the Gulf Coast. The Rust Belt is totally different than South Texas.

    What kind of work do you do?

    How much down payment are you ready to pay?

    Would an ultra reliable car with Carplay be better than a twenty year old hybrid with expensive hybrid parts that no warranty will cover?

    I’m in wa state. I don’t work. I’m mentally disabled kinda. Have 5 or so disorders. So I get $980 a month on ssi and ssdi. I have roughly $470 a month for car and insurance.

    Number 1 is do I fit in a car? Most no. Their stupid console. 4th gen and 2nd gen Prius give an idea what type of legroom and console I need. Bolt 2019 and Tesla model s work for me too for legroom. Volt does not. Tesla model 3 does not fit me. 2004 Acura mdx I use now works for legroom. But can’t gas it in wa state since they changed station gas hoses. So I need a solution for that asap.

    I have nothing for down payment right now.

    im open to other stuff but most I don’t fit. So I do not know.
