I don't have a car and can't afford one anytime in the future. I don't really have a problem with it though as I walk or take public transport and live near most of the stuff I need. However, when people , especially potential dates hear that I don't have a car, they start giving suggestions on where I can get a good deal or financing, etc. The simple fact is that I cannot afford a car and my credit is overcharged and not good so financing is out. I can't afford any payments or insurance either. Getting a car is out for me and not really an issue in my life but I keep getting people trying to pressure me into buying one or trying to get me to buy a friends car. I don't want to be rude to them as they are only trying to help, but how do I tell them, I can't afford any car?

The truth sounds good to me. I have been on a financial diet many times. I admire you for helping the environment and exercising your body daily.

Just say it..I cant afford a car right now. Or tell them your just not looking for one at this time.

Ask them why is it so important to have a car, when you're doing a fine job of simply not having one at all.
If they say something that's not what you want to hear, maybe you should look for someone that respects that you can't afford it and it's something you have easily adapted to.

Just say your not interested right now, and it's not the right time in your life for a car.

just tell them that you don't have a car because it cost to much to drive them . and that it is cheaper for you to take the bus.
