don't date horrible women, problem solved and partying hard is more of a waste of money than buying a car lol.

I didn't expect this thread to blow up as much as it has lol. Thanks everyone for their own personal feedback, I appreciate all of it. Still not sure what I'm going to but also not leaning on one choice over the other. I'll wait a few a weeks and see what I want to do.

+1, don't like partying, women are headaches. Why have a girlfriend when you can have a car. PS I did have a girlfriend for a few years so I'm not just saying that based on no experience. 10/10 prefer car over girl ;)

Damn, I don't know what kind of life you guys have lived but I've had a job and even when I wasn't saving for a car a few years ago, I never dropped 200-300 dollars a month hanging out with anybody. Usually my buddies and I just go down to the local rink and play hockey all night, $10 haha

Man, everyone gives their 2 cents and says but your minds made up. My mind isn't made up and I've said that at least 10 times. I'm listening to everyones advice and putting myself in their shoes thinking about that for me. I don't know if I'm going to get the car at all, or maybe I'll get an Ecoboost. I'm not sure yet but that's why I came here to ask

Hahah, getting into the hockey rink is cheap, equipment... Not so much

im still thinking an ecoboost might be a better choice, less money up front, spend money later on parts to get it going even faster.

Yeah I really like that idea too... Gonna start looking around for some.

You'll be fine. I say go for it! Like many other people here have mentioned you only live once. I think that as long as you're willing to put the work in DO IT.
Good luck!

Something else to consider is maintenance. Cost of tires, oil and filters, brake pads etc. pretty much dissolves that "extra" money you have each month. $800-$900 a month isn't going to cover the car payment, plus gas, food and maintenance. Not to mention if you decide to move out and have to pay your own insurance, it's going to sky rocket. This car takes 7 quarts of synthetic oil plus filter. That's basically $65-$75 just to change your oil, not to mention over $1k in tires when that time comes and it will come fast on summer tires if you're getting the PP. Sorry man, this is a stupid idea. Save your down payment, get a cheaper fun car and use that money for a down payment on a house later on.
