If you have 4K, and a job, I suggest going an executing a 2 year lease with a car dealership if they will agree to a 2 year lease. You can use some of the money as a downpayment on the lease and the rest to cover some payments. When you save up enough money, you can buy a new car. You can also try to locate another used car and put 4K down on and finance the rest over time untill you own the car. You can probably get a good deal by looking at "carmax" on the internet.
