I'm looking to get a newer used car

I have a car right now that i can do a trade in or sell for a down payment and get roughly around 5-7k for. I'm young and work delivery and make about 40-80 dollars a day and work 4 days a week plus my paycheck which is about 120 before tax. I do not have credit as of ye but i'm starting to build it. I really need a car. I'm trying to get a Honda Civic SI 2012-2015. I would have a down payment of about 5-7k and the car i'm looking to get would be around 14-20k. My question is, can i get a loan from the bank with what i have? Should i lease a car or buy a used? What are my options here? I need a car as soon as possible with the job i have now.

Please give me real answers i'm not here to joke around.

New 2015 Honda Civic LX - steep drop in Gas Tank bars in three days?

New 2015 Honda Civic LX - steep drop in Gas Tank bars in three days?!

Added (1). I bought my 2015 Honda Civic LX 3 days ago, and have only driven it 40 miles so far. When I stepped out of my car last night, it showed a full gas tank. When I stepped into the car today morning, it showed 2 bars less in the gas tank. What's wrong?!

Squealing '04 Honda Civic?

Okay so my car makes a very high pitched squealing sound whenever I start it and turn the steering wheel, even it is in park and I turn the wheel it squeals! This stops after I pick up speed and usually only happens when the car has been sitting overnight or when I get off work.

Also a little background I very recently had my head gasket replaced about 6 weeks ago and my timing belt was done in the last two years.

What would cause my car to bog out and die?

I was driving along the freeway one day, and my speedometer dropped to zero, and right when that happened my check engine light turned on. A few miles later my rpms dropped to zero as well.
I decided to pull over at the next rest stop, turned my car off then it wouldn't turn over. Just made a click sound. So I got a jump and it started. 10 miles later my car started bogging out really bad, I pulled behind a semi and he was pulling away from me. I couldn't gain speed. I own a manual so I dropped it to 3rd gear and it just didn't want to go. After I did that the car just shut down.
I replaced the alternator, and got a new battery. It then started, but after a few miles of driving it again it died the same exact way and will not start or try to turn over
I own a 97 Honda civic hatch back.
Anyone know what would be causing this?

What does it mean to change gears in a car?

I'm taking a Summer class at my university called Behavioral Analysis.

We have this term called a "behavioral antecedent" which basically is anything that signals you to perform a certain behavior such as a green light telling you to go or your mom's voice calling your name, signalling you to come to her.

This guy said that a behavioral antecedent would be when your "engine MPRs start to rise around 2500 to 3000, that's an antecedent for you to upshift."

Most of us didn't understand what that meant. This one girl said, "What are you talking about, the 2 and 1 on a gear shift is just there for towing, you're supposed to keep it in drive, numb nuts. This was never a thing."

That was quite rude, but I personally don't know why you would switch gears in a car. Why do you do this? I personally just keep my car in drive. I currently drive a 2007 Honda Civic.

Honda Civic LX brake light stays on?

So I own a 2001 Honda Civic LX & recently my brake light in the dashboard stays on even when the brake is down. I already took it to Brake Masters & even they couldn t find the problem! The guy suggested to disconnect the wire that connects to the brake cylinder to turn off the light but it still stayed on. He suggested that it might be a wire inside my car since nothing is wrong with anything by the cylinder.Supposedly by car doesn't respond to their machine that tells them where the problem will be. They said the brakes are fine.
I was just wondering if anyone has suggestions on what I can do? Or maybe where I can go?
