First Car Advice

My 18th birthday is coming up and my momma said I can pick out one or write down things that I want in a car and the type of car and she will surprise me with it on my birthday. Now I looked at this Purple PT cruiser yesterday. Since I'm a new driver I drove the car not knowing what to look for like any bad signs of a used car so I didn't get it. My mom asked the seller if it's still available can take another look but this time bring my stepdad so he can really look at. I'm just stuck on if I should wait for my mom to pick out one and wait till September 18th or if the PT checks out just get that one. ughhhhh I'm not sure😭 any advice will help
