A cheap car doesn't at all ned to be repaired often, just try to buy the right one. I would recommend a small 80s japanese, because they are just more reliable compaired to others, don't need much gas. try to look for a Toyota starlet, Nissan micra or somthing. Not so exciting, but hey the money you save you can spend on headphones

I had a starlet that I bought for 700 USD I had it for about 1.5 years not a single repair.
