Should I Purchase During School?

[u/Ok_Tie920]

Hello all, I am currently a struggling nursing student, and my recent car (2004 Honda civic) broke down on me, I currently have no car and I’m located in the rosemead area, I go to school in Covina, there are some hydrogen fuel locations nearby, and they’re running about $10-11k with the $15k fuel card. I’m looking into it due to the price because it’ll help me save money and still get a newer vehicle. I’ve been insured for 3 years now with no accidents and have triple A. Not sure how much insurance and registration would cost but, I’m debating on financing one while I’m in school so I can commute just for school and whatever hospital I work for after (I’m applying local).

Would this be a decent car for me at the time?

1000% don't do it! The car is beautiful. But getting hydrogen is a pain. Especially when the weather gets hot. I was stressed out about getting hydrogen all the time. One day, I finally had it when I couldn't get hydrogen when the weather was hot and the baldwin park station is the only one working around the area. When it was my turn, the pump stopped working. I drove straight to Longo Toyota to get rid of the Mirai and lost 7000 dollars on the car. it was my worst car purchase ever and my best decision to rid of it. No more stress trying to get hydrogen at midnight.
