So here's the situation: I make around $1,500 a month — $1,100 from my stable job and about $200 a week from freelance work. I urgently need a car because they're removing public transportation in my town. They're basically leaving just one bus that goes to a bigger station, which is about two hours away — a total nightmare.

My question is: Is there any car that's cheap and reliable? I don’t care if it’s old, I just need something I can depend on for 2–3 years, and my budget is under $1,000. I know it’s a long shot, but I have faith in Reddit. I'm based in Europe.
