Since you're in school i'm gonna assume you're probably on your Ps Heres my 2c, learn to park without parking sensors or any other aid The amount of people on the road who still scratch cars with parking sensors and reverse cameras is absolutely ridiculous already, so learn right the first time and you won't need parking sensors every again The only cars which really need them are utes or vans since their rear visibility isn't great Also I'd recommend waiting a week or two more to save up an extra 100-200 bucks, then find a local mechanic and get him to check out the car if you're very keen on it As you're budget is limited already last thing you want to buy is a car which won't last more than a month, so spend a little more to have the piece of mind that you're buying something fairly decent
