im in a similar situation youre in. i just got a really good paying job and now im making cash ive never made before. my advice is listen to what the other guys are saying. being a young man, you have no idea where you'll be in a year, especially with being in the military. i understand the whole allure of being young and having a sweet car, but thats not all there is to it. figure you pay 30k for a new camaro..taxes right off the bat would be 2100 bucks..the taxes alone are already a months pay and then some. factor gas, insurance, maintenance and repairs, etc. and all for what, a new sports car. my advice to you is either buy an older car and fix it up, or start saving and see where you're at in a year or wait till your settled down.

i say im in a similar situation because my job is up in the mountains and i only have a camaro..it would be a pain in the ass getting there in the winter. so im looking at jeeps. it came down between buying a crappy used jeep or buying a newer one and making payments. i, like another post already said, like not living to make ends meet, id like to have some extra cash to have fun. so with that being said, im going to buy a cheaper used jeep then putting myself into debt with a newer flashy one.
