“Buy a new car on a budget with bad credit”

I bought a car with my sister's help, but the high interest rate and insurance costs are a huge burden

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had researched more financing options and considered certified pre-owned vehicles"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider working on your credit score before buying a car, and explore all financing options available to you"
