With that being said cars are cheap to buy second hand. It amazes me what piles of shit are worth in the USA. You can get a reasonable car for a few hundred, if you are not bothered about style. However, insurance is going to be your problem as it's expensive generally and very expensive for non nationals, from what I understand. If you live in a studio it's unlikely that you will have parking. Britain is way way less car orientated in terms of parking etc than the USA, although everyone has a car.
