I already have a job lined up with Axiomtek, (the company I interned with) so no worries!

Save save save. Buy with cash, not loans if you can.

Looks like you're in good shape then. If you're confident in your job not falling through (bad economy, etc.) then your $12k would make for a good down-payment on a nice WRX or Evo and you could take out a loan for the rest. When you're setting your budget don't forget to account for rent, utilities, and all the other misc. crap that you never expect but always pops up. The last thing you want to do is stretch yourself thin right off the bat coming out of college.

If you're responsible and realistic with your money than taking out a few loans can be great for your credit rating which will save you a lot of money down road; especially when buying a house. Shop around and make sure you're getting the best possible APR.

hmmm, thanks for all the info guys! If i do have a small loan out on a car(for a decent evo 8), say $5-6000, how much is that going to effect me when the time comes to buy my first house? That is basically the only thing I would be worried about when it comes to a loan. I also have a few thousand in apple shares that I bought back in 05 for 1/5 of their current price just in case something bad does happen!!!!

A loan for $5-6k would have a payment of under $200/month if you do a 3-4 year loan (all depends on your APR of course). To get a decent fixed rate mortgage though you're going to need a good credit history/score which isn't possible without having a few loans and credit cards (not carrying a balance) on your record. My wife and I have both had 2 auto loans and have carried a few credit cards since college and both of us have excellent credit which really helped a ton when it came time to buy a house. The biggest thing is to not stretch yourself thin and NEVER miss a payment or make late payments a regular occurance.

Perfect, exactly what I needed to know!

Just buy a evo. I have never had to take out a loan for a car or to build one of my many cars. Just save up and buy it out right. That is what I did when I bought my spyder new got a lot better of a deal because it was paid for in cash. Ended up with it out the door for 22k. I would love to have a new evo but will not take out a loan for one so I built my evo III and put way more into it than it would have been to buy a new evo 10. But I like it a lot more because no one elec has a rhd old evo in Mn and there are less than 10 in the US that can drive on the street. So I know where you are coming from when you want stock and build it your self.

[bigboostingst]

Yeah, your evo III is very unique. Actually I believe I've been to your house before, I bought some 2gb gsx rims from you a couple years ago when I first started dsm's. Its good that someone knows where I'm coming from. I steer away from cars with mods, any rich guy can buy a fast modded eclipse/evo/wrx....But its way more satisfying when you build it yourself!

^Truth.
Glad to see you got steered the right way. If you currently have a ride, I would say take your time finding something that you want there have been a ton of deals on nice evos as of late.

If you don't mind travelling I can keep my eyes open down here. Some guy just sold a low miles evo 8 for a great price.
