You need transportation, you don't need to impress anyone. My favorite line about vehicles is tie: "Noone casres what kind of car you drive when they need you to give them a ride". Think about it. I'd rather sink my money into appreciating assets. Have a great day. Tyler How about saving up and paying cash for a car that you can afford.

I have had my pickup truck for 7 years now, and plan on keeping it until I have children and have a need for a little more "inside the vehicle" room. I would keep the truck for dump runs and things like that, except that (a) I don't actually need to have a truck 95% of the time and (b) don't have anywhere to store it. At least it gets good gas mileage.
