cheap car insurance for college students

Would you recommend a new(er) car or a cheap older car for a college student?
I am in college and about to start driving (I’m a little late lol). Anyway, i have about $1000 saved up…so I can either use that to buy a really cheap old car or use it as a down payment for something that has been used (I was thinking in the $7,000-$10,000 range). What do you recommend? I really do not want to be tied down to car and insurance payments but I don’t want to buy a cheap car that is going to die in less than a year. All opinions and advice are appreciated!
i’d get an old cheap car, save up some money , then get my own new car. i mean besides, your not gonna be using your car very much in college , there is a lot of transportation there, trust me.
No matter what exactly are we planning to buy, all of us have a tendency to discover the cheapest possible solution for our requirements. So, the very same applies to purchase Automobile Insurance.
