New Car Options Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Im looking to get a new car. This really sucks because my budget is about 20 - 25,000. I will not take a Scion of any sorts, Dont like any of the new Toyota cars and a new Lexus is out of my price range.

Any ideas on cars? It needs to be a 2006 or better. Ive thought about the Mazdas and thats a no go in my opinion. This sucks because its not like i dont care about what kind of car I get. Im a car girl and I need something that will not have me regretting my choice within a year.

I live at home and make rougly 2,000 a month with only a cell bill to pay so i can afford a 400 car payment.

I know some of you are going to say move out but Im holding off another year or two so then I can buy a townhome rather than spending 900 dollars a month on rent to live in the area I do now thats close to work.

Im thinking of going wrx with a boxer engine which would be about 28k. A little more than I wanna pay but I cant let myself settle on just something to get me from point a to point b

Hey Nat, i dont want to rain on your parade or anything, but if you are hoping to save up for a townhome, then i would shoot for cheaper car payment to save money. With mortage+bills+putting some aside for property tax, i spend ~$2000 a month on just house expenses. And that is with the $80,000 downpayment i made on my townhouse. Then factor on top of all of that, eating, gas, etc and the money runs away quickly each month.
