Driving exam today. Tempted to buy a car!

[toytech]

10 year old cars almost all have traction control , all have abs for sure , drivers and passenger airbags and side impact beams what more could you want? First cars are always the whoops cars , rubbed a post in the underground , backed into a shopping cart stand ect on a new car that hurts value BIG TIME even if you have it repaired . Depreciation on a new car is 10% a year and you pay whatever % in interest so that gets expensive . Best 1500 cars around are corollas and civics but ive also owned caviliers and sunfires for that price and while there not fantastic cars they work and are always cheap and get fine milage. Service history is the biggest factor , all cars are crap if you don't maintain them ! (domestics especially so) so see if they have records for at least oil changes that's the most important.

Thanks for all the great information everyone.

I am extremely happy to say that I have passed the test with 40 points 10 for stopping at the stop sign (there was no white stopping line so I stopped right where the post of the stop sign was as per as my instructor but the examiner said its too far from the road), 10 for following the traffic which made me go above the speed limit and 20 for not slowing down at uncontrolled intersection (my bad).

Anyway, couldn't apply for my license since my study permit is pending extension so will get it after I get the extension. Keep the suggestions coming

So you were speeding, pulled up too far at a stop sign and sped through an intersection? Some things you just don't tell people bud. Haha just kidding.
Well congratulations and good luck finding some wheels.
