#1 - If you have a free ride and can afford to pay cash for a reliable car you should be exploiting that to its fullest so that you can focus on academics and partying. We’re just trying to help. Putting yourself in a position where you have to work during college just to have a nicer car is just plain dumb. It is not a smart choice. It is poor judgement. #2 - I’m moving this flame fest to OT. ---

#3 - there are much smarter things that you can do with your disposable income rather then dump 10k into an asset that is GUARENTEED to depreciate rapidly. That being said, I doubt you’re going to listen to the few people that are offering sound financial advice, so go finance whatever the fuck you want. ---

#4 - I’m happy I’m the admin because I can respond to closed threads. That being said - go lease a subaru legacy. 12K miles - 2 years, $213 / mo, that’s stupid cheap. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-car-advice/51891.md?page=6)
