Brag or Beat: Just bought a 2007 Yaris
 

Ok, so I'm 18 years old, have a steady decent paying job; and my old Grand Am just died on me. Went to dealership and decided to buy 2007 Toyota Yaris Liftback. I put 1200$ down payment on it, and will make payments of 300$ a month for 60 months. I chose the yaris because of the gas milage (40), the price, (12,000), and I just really like the looks of it. My first new car ever, what do you guys think of the car/the way I got it? Thanks

No, I'm a guy. I think its more of a euro car than a girls car, and as long as I can make the payments on time, a new car will be worth it in the long run over getting 2-4 junkers throughout college.

I work as a sales associate at Brookstone, @ 175$ a week. And even with that long of a loan, it's still more cost-efficient than buying junkers that I have to pour money into all the time.

60*300 + 1200 = 19,200

+interest and dealer fees, etc.

EDIT: Also bought gap coverage, that added some as well.
