Answer 1

If you are talking about getting one on credit, yes you can. Of course you can go to one of those "tote the note" car lots but usually they stick you on price and sell junkers. You can also credit permitting of course, borrow from any lending institution as is against the law to discriminate against you because of your disability income. Not to mention that you have a "guaranteed" income unlike most everybody else that might either get fired, laid off, or simply quit and lose income. If your credit is okay and you haven't stiffed folks in the past then you will be seen as a desirable customer "because" of your income and not "in spite of". Talk to your local bank first if you have a good relationship with them. Should you have a home an equity loan will easily solve this and if you are renting then can simply borrow at bank or financial institution as normal. Good Luck getting a new ride either way.

Answer 2

What about getting a scooter or moped? They are a couple of hundred dollars and often run on electricity instead of gas. You can find them on the internet for cheap. Same thing with a used car... just find one that fits into your budget. What about walking or bicycling? Perhaps your church or other organization that you're involved with has loaners or something? What about going on craigslist to find a car-buddy? Is there a neighbor/friend/relative that can take you to the store once a week? I have a feeling you're not exploring all the options.

There isn't a place where someone is just going to give you a car though.

Answer 3

Sure. Go to the used car lot, find one you like and can afford. Pay the nice man, and drive it home. If you are asking if you can somehow get a car free because you are disability, no. But perhaps if your disability is permanent you can get some monetary help from social security. Apply and see.

Answer 4

If you can manage to scrape up $500, buy a cheap, base model/stripped used Japanese car with a 4 cylinder. They are out there, and will last many miles before work is needed to them. Sometimes you can get them for a couple hundred bucks, like older Corollas and Datsuns. They are very cheap to operate too.

Answer 5

if you don't work you'll have plenty of time to shop for a car.

just go see lots of people selling used cars in your 100$/month price range.

lot of people just want the car out of their driveway, and might let you make small payments, or let you have a good used car for not a lot of money.

Answer 6

im sure you could get a used car if not from a lot at least from a person who is selling by owner my father in law is on disability also bc of a car accident he can not work either and he got himself a used van it is a chevey van i think its like 2003 or something around that year. So i am sure you can get one.
