Absolutely. A $5k 1998 Toyota Corolla will be bulletproof for another twenty years yet. Fuel and oil every now and then is all it will ask for, and as long as you don’t need to compensate for your lack of manhood, there’s no reason that won’t take you anywhere you need to go. I don’t understand why Americans feels the need to take a loan out on a six figure “truck”. Sure as shit it’s not to “haul” the milk and cookies home from the grocery store.
However, you do have to compensate for the lack of a roof over your head, and that will take a lot more of your income on a monthly basis.

I live inna shit hole and renting saps people likely 50% of the median income

$5000 for a 27 year old car is a lot of money though. Though being a Toyota you are probably not losing much if you ever need to sell it.
