alternative is paying the difference in rent for a car loan

Why do you have to take an expensive loan to get a car? Is there no used car market in US? I live in a bit different reality, and here there's thriving market at any price tag. You have to do the research, pay for paint thickness check to ensure car didn't get wrapped around a tree, but getting very cheap used car to drive your ass from point A to point B is absolutely a thing.

Is there no used car market in US?

There is, but prices on anything that doesn't require constant repairs is still fairly expensive.

Nah US has used cars, got mine for like $6000 a few years ago when prices were kinda high.
