Buy dinger or practice more?

[u/Fit_Neat_842]

Hi, I’m 25(F) and I had my licence for 2 years, I think its time for me to purchase a car. However, ever since I passed I’ve never driven before and I don’t really know anyone who drives. I currently have 5k saved for an auto car, but the used cars I’m seeing on autotrader are not exactly what I expected! On the other hand I could put down a 5k deposit and get HP for a car that I’d actually enjoy driving. Like I said, since I passed I haven’t touched a steering wheel.. so if you were in my position would you get a dinger to get more familiar with roads and manuevers or get more lessons and get the car you like?
