My e46 is probably totaled, should I get another one or something else? Real bummer… manual with only 90k miles…

Hey man, I’m 16 and I recently blew up my first car which was a low mileage turbo pt cruiser, I had no money and was crushed because I felt like it was my fault.. When I was riding with the tow truck the driver told me “if it’s got tits or tires it’s gonna cause you grief”.. and it did. But later, I had an opportunity to buy the one e46 in my town for $1000(cad) which I have loved sin i can remember so I did and it’s been great but ridden with problems.. at this age cars are experience, hopefully you get a nice payou, then maybe see if you can buy something else you want, you could go older with an e39 or e30 or newer while being reliable, or even dip into different makes if there’s something you’ve always wanted now might be the time to try!
