<prompt> Human: Hey guys as my current car needs some repairs I am leaning to buying a new car but I am also trying to convince my self not to because having another monthly payment is a new responsibility. That being said I know the repairs are less than the down payment of a car, and being young I want a sportier car than what I have. What are the downsides of buying a new car? And would buying used be a better idea? Keep in mind I am looking for reliable transportation that wont give me too much problems.Assistant: If you can afford pay cash, go ahead.But if you are financing, Id recommend buying for utility rather than style. Fancy cars are bills on bills on bills car payments, higher insurance, costlier upkeep, higher excise tax where applicable.Human: True.. I just wish the Subaru wrx had the payment of the Camry...  <response>: I dont know what your situation is, but every young male loves getting a WRX and its also the one I see most listed in posts here regretting their expensive car payments. If youre in a good spot financially then thats great, but that car is a trap for a lot of young people.
