What are you too good for the damn bus? You really need to work on that attitude buddy! Ever hear of Huffy? They make these things called bikes and you pedal them to get where you need to go. I'll bet for $300 2017 dollars you could get a damn fine six speeder. Maybe use the left over money to buy yourself some RoseArt trapper keepers and crayons for your first day at Miss Peregrine's school for Peculiar Homosexuals.

Adjust $300 and tell me if you could get a car that could pass inspection.
That's $1364.00, there's plenty of used cars on autotrader for that, much better cars than anything you could find in 1975. There's perfectly serviceable cars for even less than that, inflation adjusted, you can find cars which would pass any inspeaction, for less than $300 1975 dollars.
I went to the local used car place and the cheapest running car he had was $2400 (for my child last year).

Yes, well you've already proven yourself to be intellectually lazy, and I guess you ain't much for making the effort when it comes to finding deals on cars neither.

The idea that you need a car in New York is absurd, I've never done anything but walk, bike, and take the transit in New York, same thing in Toronto. Whether NYC or the T-Dot, a car is a big pain in the ass, I never drive in the city, I just take the train in.

I used to be poor but I'm not now. Older got an Audi. Younger got a serviceable $5000 Hyundai. If I had to get the cheapest car on the local lot, it would have to be the $2400 one. It never occurred to me to buy a used car online.

Depends where you live and where you work. You need a car in Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn. I lived on the Bronx border so the need for a car depended on where I was working.

I have three cars, but if I drove to NYC, I would just park it for the duration and walk, bike, and take the transit everywhere.
