It's so crazy how much ideological astroturfing reddit has and people fall for it. Also lol @ working several jobs for $2400 a month = lower middle class.
Depending on what part of the country you're in you can absolutely get a car for that price, it will likely be 15 years old though.
Where?
Used cars are cheaper in the Midwest in my experience. You can get a car that's kinda rusted but still has a solid engine.
2005 Honda Civics in Omaha Nebraska are listed for 3000 online right now. Maybe you can negotiate down to 2300 - still not 600
It's been a while since I've bought a car back then. And yeah 600 is low, I was thinking like 1000.
