Write down exactly what you need/want. Practice gratitude everyday; make it a new way of thinking: be grateful for every single thing: the grass under your feet, the air in your lungs. Start with a daily list of 10 things. The key is to stop stressing or “trying to figure it out.” Let the Universe handle it… The more you’re grateful, the “luckier” you will get. ;)

Use the bus or carpool - save money until you can afford a reliable used car in good condition.

Honestly find someone who has a dealer’s license or get one yourself, still save as best you can but car auctions are the place to go, these dealerships send repossessions there too fyi

Save till ya got enough to buy a used off private seller

Car auction at impound. No doubt. If you in PDX, I'll show you.

Make 300 bucks doing gig work, mow lawns, clean houses, etc. go to your local junkyard and ask what runners they have. Beggars cant be choosers and a running but messed up car is better than no car at all

Ask a family member or a friend to do you a favor and you will return the favor back

Buy here pay here type places usually help

Join OF because you're pretty! Guys would if they could! Lol

if you have a job, start saving small amounts that you can, even if it’s withdrawing cash and storing it somewhere so you are less inclined to spend it! if you go to a certified dealership, depending on the vehicle and their terms, you may have to put a significant amount down if their loan lenders can even approve you, since it’s subject to approval. buy here pay here places are another route to go — although strongly advised against since a lot of them are super shady, and a lot of the vehicles have either major issues, or several minuscule issues that will cost an arm and a leg to fix. you can always use facebook marketplace, there are some gems on there, and you can negotiate a little bit!

GTA, is probably the cheapest rout to take,

Stand on the corner of 1st and J….

I'm going through this also. My credit is bad and I don't get paid enough for financing. I'm trying to save money. It's not the fastest way. But for me it's the best way.

I always thought police auctions were a good way to go. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like a reliable way, just bring a mechanic along if you're not car savvy & be sure to check it out before bidding

Trying to figure that out myself

Dealership that offer biweekly payments. They'll go off your employment history for approval as well.

Join a credit union and establish a good account relationship with them. Generally within about a year they will help you with a reasonable auto loan.

Is leasing a car a good option, since it will help me rebuild my credit.

Take out a small short term loan

Finance or autoloan
