<prompt> Human: Hello everybody! Im a huge lurker on this subreddit. Im 19yo and currently live in Wisconsin. After a long time search and bad luck with cars on Craigslists. Ive decided to look for cars at Dealerships. Now, Im HUGE into tuners. I love the modding scene. I found a 2005 Subaru WRX STI with 54k miles on it. Fully built, perfect. If I do get this car, I will not be adding anymore mods to it.They are asking 19k for the car. This will be my only car for summer AND winter. Due to its AWD I currently make around 9.50 an hour with full benefits health care and whatnot and work full time, and go to school part time. Every month, I currently pay 100 a month for rent, and 120 for Insurance on my current car. Im assuming Ill be taking a loan amount of somewhere near 17k. If I got approved for paying roughly 250-300 a month. Will I be able to do-it essentially? Thanks in advanced. P.S: English is NOT my first language!Assistant: One of the most commonly cited regrets in this sub is buying an expensive car right out of collegefirst full time job.If your current car still works, Id recommend using that until you can save up enough cash to buy something you like better without going into debt. Your life will probably change drastically over the next 5 years. You dont want to be stuck paying 300 per month when things dont go your way.Edit: and if you are really into the modding scene, wouldnt you have more fun buying something cheaper that you can mod yourself? Not too mention a 10 year old car for 20k seems a bit high, even accounting for the low mileage.Human: I understand what your saying, but naturally the newer STIs are ugly to me. After 2006, I dont really like the STIs. Plus, Its a dream car to own, 4dr, AWD, Turbo, Done right, Low mileage, Has everything! If things do turn out that way. I could always sell it as well. Plus, STIs are HIGHLY sought out after plus its a manual.Assistant: Its a dream car to ownYou cant afford your dream yet. Find a good job first!Human: Wouldnt it be better to start early then later in life? For example houses. Better to start finding your dream house earlier in life than to switch around between houses.  <response>: Its much better to be able to afford your debt.
