My goal is to get a townhome or a small house In SoCalafter a few years of renting and getting married. Would you guys say getting a 30k car right now a finically horrible decision? Im giving my 2014 Golf to my lil brother for 8k and plan to put that as down payment on the car. Ive always wanted this car and feel that I should just go for itjust wanna live a little :p . My salary should increase again in the next 2-3 years, if not soonerThanks guys  <response>: Obviously it would be a better financial decision to get a cheaper car. But if its something your truly passonite about who can tell you that you shouldnt?
