Allen Texas

I’m trying to find somewhere I could finance a cheap car with little down payment. I have a credit score of around 695 but with my new apartment, I am low on funds. I moved in in March. My girlfriend would take me to and from work, but we just recently broke up and now I am struggling to find rides or transportation. I don’t really trust Facebook Marketplace, I’ve looked at dealerships around me but I don’t want to finance a 20,000 dollar car as it would take me forever to pay off. I’m good for it as I have a steady job. They have even allowed me to work remotely if needed. But I do not want to be cooped up in the house. I need to be at the office. Any tips? What kind of car? Anybody local have been through someone trustworthy?
