Can you help?

I've just got here from England and need to rent a car for about a month.
The cheapest I could find so far is about $499 + $5 per day for the State
minimum liability insurance (from U-save car rental in Oakland). With tax
that's a total of around $680. 

Isn't there anywhere cheaper ???  

I tried a rent-a-wreck place and it a bit less on the basic but the insurance
was more :(  

I really want to buy a car since I'll be staying here but until my social
security number comes through etc. etc. I won't be able to get insurance
and probably wouldn't be able to buy one anyway (through a dealer that is).

Anyone got any bright ideas or know of any cheaper rental companies?
