Before I got it I thought it was super important to have a nicer vehicle than most people my age, but now that I have one I realize the cost isn't worth it.I'd probably pass on the prelude, I think i read somewhere that those body styles were "death traps" Rock the Solara some more, free don't hurt. Oh since we are talking about mommy and daddy, I'm 22 and still live with mommy and daddy. I lived on my own for a little bit, but I moved back home. 1400 a month for rent + utilities for 15 months was more than enough.
I'll live with my parents over that anyday... for now at least.

I just want a cheap truck that fits my needs and no payments. Then I can get myself a car to ---- with. I gave my mom a 93 Accord for Christmas that I traded my old EF SI hatch for.

Speaking as someone who has "been there and done that"....
I spent the first part of my 20's racking up debt and now Im spending the later part of my 20's paying it off. Debit Freakin sucks...debit is when other people make money off of your money. I would like to be the only one who makes money off of MY money.
I just got out of a car loan too (congrats boost I know how you feel) I was driving a 2000 Subaru 2.5 RS and I traded it for a '92 prelude and the payoff balance just to get rid of the damn thing. Learn how to pay your bills first before you get a loan....Im not trying to flame you. But the real world is harsh and for the type of loan you would probably get for a 3k$ car you would be at a ultra high interest rate, with most likley a ballon or something, at a cut-rate place that would repo that car in a heartbeat.
Get a pizza job and save some cash up. If you cant save 3k$ in a summer living at home you sure as hell shouldnt be getting a loan.

Re: Opinons needed
i gotcha on the paying a shitload a month for the next 4 years. 7500 ain't too bad of a loss, you did beat the ---- outta it 
And it dang beats the hell out of a lease. Cause with a lease you'd get fucked over twice, at least this way you are getting fucked once :P
That's actually why I don't buy new cars, plain and simple I can't afford it.
