<prompt> Human: Im currently 19 and have a full ride to college on scholarships. Im also currently working, on average, 34 hour a week, which comes out to about 600 every two weeks. Im wanting to get a new car, either at 2010 camaro or a 2016 Honda Civic. So, the pricing will range from 10k-15k. Im planning on putting 3k down and getting a loan 36 months for the rest. My credit score is 750. Is this a wise financial decision? EDIT: Thanks a lot for all of the fast and informational comments! Assistant: Buy a 3k car outright. Save what you would have been paying 200 a month into savings for repair. This will also save you quite a bit on insurance.Human: Also to note Id only be paying 12, 13 of the insurance cost.Assistant: You need the cash for your education. Get an old civiccamryold prius for 5k or less. You cant eat a camero. What if you want to go to grad school, or if you lose your scholarship?Live like a student while youre a student, so that you dont have to live like a student after youve graduatedHuman: In case of scholarship loss, I have a back up account with more than enough to pay for grad school. And Im currently in an 01 Accord with 103k miles. Assistant: That Accord is probably good for another 100K miles. Keep it.Human: Ive got plenty of Friends with hondas 300k, so I know itll last a while. I only pose this question because cars are a hobby of mine and theyre something I really enjoy  <response>: Then save or be in debt.
