We all crave the independence we deserve when we move out of our homes into this miniature version of the big bad world. University gives us the space to be on our own and explore the things that we were probably kept away from by our parents.
One of these things could be having your own car. Everything becomes easier when you have your own car! Going to Uni, getting a job that involves travelling, grocery shopping, and even weekend trips to the Blue Mountains. However, buying a car with the pocket money from a part-time job could be tricky.
You could either buy a brand new low-cost car or buy a used car. Since used cars are almost a third of the price of low-priced new cars, most students end up buying a used car.
But each one of us want our personalities to reflect in our cars and hence want different kinds of cars. Fortunately, there are plenty of varieties to choose from.
