<prompt> Human: Title pretty much has my question, but heres some extra details:Im 24.I have no debt.My monthly expenses are: 550 - rent 100-140 - utilities internet 200-300 - food gasI have no money saved at the moment, I had some debt before getting this job because I was living paycheck to paycheck, but now Im doing alright and have paid it all off. I dont plan on getting a car until 2017, and I plan on saving up around 5-6k for emergencies before getting the car.I believe Ill be getting a raise in January. I took the job for 5k less than I was asking for, with an agreement that there would be a performance review in January and if things were going well I could be bumped up to my asking salary.Im also considering moving back in with my mom after my lease is up since its about 45 minutes closer to where I work. This would cut out almost all of my expenses. If I dont move back in with my mom, my rent would probably go up to around 800 a month since I would still be moving to that area and its more expensive than where I live now.I really want a used subaru wrx sti hatchback, but the general price range is 25k - 3k depending on mileage. Im pretty sure I could get one, but Im not really sure I should.Any advice on what my actual price range for a car should be?Oh, and I also do some freelance work on the side if I have time prospects. Probably 3-5k extra money a year.  <response>: Ive heard iffy things about buying used Subaru wrx vehicles. Make sure its in great condition and you get an inspection first.As for the financial aspect, as long as your interest rates arent huge, then you should be able to afford it just fine.
