<prompt> Human: So I am about to graduate and really want to get a car for adventuring. I am pretty active and outdoorsy so the 2 which I am looking at right now are the Honda CRV and Subaru Forester. They seem to have gotten pretty high reviews everywhere I have read about them US News, Consumer reports, KBB. I want something a little bigger in order to drag gear and friends around which is why I am looking at crossovers and small SUVs. I need an automatic and have a strong preference for including advanced safety features eyesight for Subaru and sensing for the Honda. With these perks both cars come out to about 30k new including taxes. I am planning on buying whichever model I can get a better deal on. From reading car buying info on this sub and elsewhere I think I could possibly negotiate that down 1-2k but I dont think that is a huge factor right now. Insurance on the car is going to be pretty killer 3k a year even though I have never been in an accident but I figure that it is pretty necessary.In terms of my financial situation I think I am fairly stable. I signed an offer for 100k base with 20k yearly bonuses and have fairly significant 100k savings which I think I am going to draw from to buy this car. I will be living in a decently large west coast city so I expect expenses there to be fairly high. I dont really have any credit so my bank offered me a pretty crummy interest rate and my parents have strongly advised that I dont get loans. I can afford to pay cash for the vehicle, but I am very hesitant to pull the trigger because this is the first really big purchase I have ever made. Is this really doable? Am I missing anything major?Thanks  <response>: If youre going to buy the car, wait until you actually start the new job before doing so.
