Should I wait until I graduate to buy a car?

I'm a 16 year old guy and I'm having trouble deciding whether to buy a car next year or wait until I graduate from high school. I worry about older cars with higher miles because they could be great or they could have little time left. I live in a place where everything is pretty much a 5 minute walk. My family memebers and my parents friends will let me drive their cars whenever I need them or they'll give me a ride so, I don't really need a car. If I buy a car when I graduate, it will be 5-6 years old and will me going to college with me. What should I do? The older car might be something like an old Crown Victoria with high miles. The newer cars I want are either a 2010-12 Ford Taurus AWD or a 2011 Ford Explorer Limited 4WD. What should I do? Should I wait until I graduate from high school or buy one next year?

Added (1). I'm not buying yet. I want to know which plan is the better one.

My son has a 2000 Ford Taurus, there's not heat in his car?

The car is equipped with a Auto Climate Control Unit. When the heat is turned on the blower motor does turn on as if there's no power to the blower. We have replaced the blower motor and checked all the fuses and relays. Could this be the Climate Control Resistor or the all in one controls on the dashboard? Or did we overlook something else?

Can I keep my car in bankruptcy?

My car ('02 Ford Taurus, 220k) is collateral for a remaining loan I have through a bank. My state allows me to exempt up to $2,400 for a tool of the trade exemption that the statute states can be one vehicle used to commute to place of business, which is what I do. Although my car can be repossessed if I just let the loan be discharged, couldn't I use lien avoidance since it's a non possessory non purchase money security interest, meaning that the bank doesn't hold my car while I make payments and the loan wasn't for the car itself when I took it out?

Which car is the best first car? - 1

I'm 16 and I'm going to be saving up to buy a car. I want to spend $1000-$5000. I will likely have it all the way through college. I'm looking for comfort, safety, space (I'd be hauling my stuff to college), and winter capability. Here is what I like.

-2000-07 Ford Taurus SEL
-2000-07 Mercury Sable LS Premium
-2005-07 Ford Five-Hundred Limited AWD

Which one should I get? I'd like to stick with a V6 that's either FWD or AWD.

2001 ford taurus starter problems?

My 2001 ford taurus has had problems starting. It will work sometimes, but every once in a while it just ticks rapidly. Sometimes it will fix itself and start, but sometimes won't start until the next day. I removed the starter, took it to napa and the test said it works fine. Could this be because it was intermittently working before, or would the test know if it was broken either way?
