Here in the US, even used shitboxes are very expensive, and you never know if it'll break down on you or not. When I was a teen, my first car cost $700 USD. Now for evne a used piece of shit in my area, they are around $10,000 USD

    Curious what area you're in, even a used 2016 sedan with 125k miles is only ~$6,500 where I'm at. Shitboxes go for far far less than that.

    I'm more curious where you're at then. Because nothing that cheap here.
