You also need to look at what you're spending in total too, not just monthly. Look at the bottom line: Are you comfortable spending $25k on a DD when you already have a $35k + mods Evo?
If it lasts me 120k miles sure, my goal has been to have a good daily driver.
I am single, I don't have family or shit to worry about, just me so I can be greedy. I just hate that I used to have a nice DD (the evo) now I drive a shitbox most of the time.
A 25k car I think is reasonable for a normal car though in all honesty.
Shawn thinks I should buy a 10-12k car and then drive 30k miles and keep doing it. Which honestly if you can find good cars and keep doing that it works great, better than any of my options really. I just want a car that gets me a lot of years/miles with warranty and decent gas mileage. All of my desire to work on cars goes toward the evo, don't want my regular cars to break too.
In all honesty I should've bought a nice dd car then saved up for a project car after, but hey I am not perfect and made a mistake having my DD be my fun car.
