Your friends are right. Wait till you get your next project. Many old cities like DC/NYC/Boston/Chicago etc have rail + bus services. Those are quite convenient and cars are a hassles (high insurance + parking problems). If it is West coast, then you can buy a good used car say $3,000 to 5,000.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Thanks Blade Runner, Rajee and Uppili :-)
I do use public transport but felt a car would be more convenient so I just wanted to know the worst case scenario when you end up with a car in a city that may need one. Even if I were to work in NY I would be staying in NJ anyway.
Wont you find car a necessity for weekend shopping, library visits, eatouts in NJ?

why not rent a house within one KM radius of your work area? May be a little xpensive but save you the parking blues. Also take a car on rental for week end ventures or use public transport. In case you are so pissed about it then do not go for USED ONES--they will give you a lot of problems and make a big HOLE in your pocket--there are no easy SADAK CHHAP MECHANICS repairing cars there. I suggest you stay away from it till you get a permanent job--currently you seem to be on CONTRACT JOB---which is a bit risky thing to go for a car on loan. Anyway--decision yours. look at your pocket, type of job, area of work and facilities there---then make a decision. rajee

Your will be in my backyard! Nitesh don't buy the car yet.
If you will be working in NY City then your car - will be that SPOUSE u really want ot get rid of - but simply WON'T be able to do so once "MARRIED".
You will find WALKING Theraputic in NY CITY - I just love it.
If you will be living in NJ - then make friends with someone in NJ - to take you along for grocery shopping n stuff.
DOn't buy it UNLESS you are trying to impress girls - and for that you will need a luxury car not a grocery pick up type ;-)
