sorry fotown, read on..
i feel one of the biggest problems in america today is the need for instant gratification, and the feeling we deserve it NOW. most of our parents/grandparents have had to work hard for everything they have. your mom is probably one of these people. she probably loves you very much, which means she wants to teach you not enable you. if she buys you the car she teaches you not to work toward a goal, and you dont have to work for what you want. basically enabling you to think the someone else i.e. the government will support you when shes gone.
be a productive member of society and put something back into your community and work, even if its only 10-20 hours a week, it shows effort and innitiative. save up 500-600 dollars. go to mom and show her what youve done. then go to mom and show her a 1000 car you are interested in. there are lots of them out there on the sides of any road in the suburbs! look for one that looks terrible but has low miles and runs good, it'll be a better deal overall. at that point i'll bet you she will match your money, because she saw your effort. doing this you will be able to get a car, gain her respect as a young adult.(this is much different than the love for a child), you wont have payments, and the coolest part is in a year when youve saved another 800-1000 you can sell this one for 1000 or so and then buy one for 2000 and still not have a payment. and so on and so on. each year you get a nicer car to drive and NO PAYMENTS!!! if you want a great book to read that will help you build your future and wealth. read Dave Ramsey's "TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER"............again, sorry it may not be what you want to hear, but this will work. good luck
also, there will always be good, cool used cars on craigs list. not just this one.

LIVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE NOW, SO LATER YOU CAN LIVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE.
