Re: What to get as a good first car

Something that may not be obvious to you is that you really need to consider whether you need a car at all at college.

I don't know what college you are attending but take a look at the campus...ask about parking fees (they can be substantial). See if there is public transportation.

If you are worried about getting home... you will find numerous ride boards at every school.

I think you are going to find that most colleges are completely different than what you have experienced in high school They are mini-communities that were built around themselves and often don't require a vehicle to get to school or to other activities.

Most colleges were built before everyone owned a car... they have sprawled somewhat but everything is pretty much in walking distance.

Just something to think about...
A car in high school and a way to get around from a distant high school or in a standard urban setting is one thing.

College communities are different for the most part.

Have a great college career!!
