Hi all. I'm 25, graduated university this spring and make roughly 21k /month. I'm currently driving a 2003 Toyota Celica that I've had for nearly ten years. Everyone is telling me to get a new car and I know that the Celica isn't super practical. It's been good to me but this past year I've had to replace the clutch and all 4 wheel bearings. I did the work myself so it didn't cost too much. I've found a 2018 Mazda 6 that I really like that would cost me 28k. I just cannot allow myself to spend that much when my car still gets me where I want to go. I have roughly 75k saved but would like to use that for a house downpayment instead. What does everyone suggest? Should I keep driving my current car and use the money for a downpayment, invest it or overcome my guilt and purchase the car. Thanks for any insight!
