<prompt> Human: We will start off with the fact that Im almost 30 year old single Male looking to try and eventually buy a house or condo in the next 3-5 years roughly. Im usually pretty good with money except when it comes to one thing, vehicles. Im an avid car guy whos about to sell his current car and get another more viable for my future goals. The problem I face is my heart is telling me to get brand new probably VW 2018 golf 32k or 2019 Jetta 25k but my brain Is telling me to get used, probably 2010-13 328xi BMW for around 12-18k Ill have around 10k for paymentdown payment and make around 2600 roughly a month after taxes I will be working as a BMW tech at a very busy dealership starting in middle October.Currently have around 17k in savings not including the 10k Ill get from selling my current car and currently live with parents with no rent. Also have around 55k in investments being managed by an outside company and possibly have some more money being willed to me soon due to a family members death.Only debts after I sell my current car are 4k in credit card debt Ill be paying off as soon as I start back at BMW dealership and get steady income back.What should I do? My brain has been going back and forth for past 3 weeks and been changing my mind back and forth Mainly worried I wont be happy if I get something cheaper or different and will end up just dumping it and buying one of previously mentioned cars later on If any more info is needed let me know and ill try to answer best I can.  <response>: It wont take even 6 months for some cream puff to come through on a trade that the seller got knocked in the dirt on, and you can buy it for next to nothing. Just wait until you start work, tell the used car manager what youre looking for, and wait for them to call you when something sweet comes down the line. Youre about to be in literally the best possible position to get a good deal on a used car. x200B;
