But then it doesn't actually clean very well.

They tend to be on the higher end for price, and folks pay it for the convenience. Unless you can't, I'd try local dealerships first. Seeing and driving the car is worth doing.

It would have to be a gift. Can't take a loan on down payment.

> Then 20% Down on a 15 year loan to avoid PMI
There's a math problem here tho. Simply avoiding PMI could cost them in the long run.
How long will it take to save 20% while spending $2100/mo on rent? vs buying sooner and spending ~$200/mo on PMI?
20% isn't always the right call, though is ideal if you can swing it.

Was $2k/mo for us. $1k may be low depending on COL.

This is Buy it for Life. BIFL items are usually expensive.
