90% of income on cars..... To each his own to each his own...

Like a lot of others have said, if you really want a new car OP... Maybe sell your civic and get a slightly older car for the same amount of money....

But I don't think financing a car is stupid, if anything it builds your credit... Just pick the times where dealerships are doing promotions....

One thing that is stupid is to finance a used car though so stay away from that

This is my personal choice in the next bit, not saying its right or wrong since everyone has diff priorities but you know for me... I am out of school right now and working full time... I wouldn't say I am making lots but then its not min wage...I live at my wife's house... and and thank god her family is somewhat well off, what a blessing haha. So we don't get rent but pay for the utilities, phone, cable, internet, property tax etc etc...
I drive a 5MT 90hp tin can everyday....which is worth maybe 1500? If not less lol
But it was exactly what I wanted, heat in the winter, AC in the summer, MT, LSD, RWD... For fucks sake Ive stick with my factory 15" tires to cheapo my way thru... But hey the car is great on gas, won't get me into trouble with the cops and maintenance is dirt cheap!

So just think it thru, do talk to your parents and maybe we will get to see your new ride in the summer meet!
