Im new also . Ive been without a car for the last 4 years. I work from home, and everything i need to shop for i can walk or ride a bike to get - no car needed. But i think i should get a car because i have a new dog that may need to go to a vet, and maybe once in a while i may need an emergency vehicle to visit the doctor too. But can anyone give me advice on what car i should get (a used car is all i need, and i'd like to have something reliable but cheap on gas and insurance)... im clueless , anyone please help me in the direction for my needs - i just need a car for emergencies, i dont want to pay too much insurance just for emergency ya know ?
