This BS thread was up a while back under a different screen name maybe a scammer of some sort.

Welcome to the forum.

+1 to what 6464 said. "Pay" yourself first - save!

Very basic personal expense plan:
1. Add up ALL your current expenses, including food, clothing, cell phone, cable, insurance for your home, current car expenses, loans and other debts, entertainment, eating out, toys, bank fees - in other words, EVERYTHING you spend money on.
2. Plan to save. Max out your retirement saving plan (it may be an income tax deduction, depending on where you live). Remember that this money will grow over time, but it won't if you don't put any in. A rough guess (from personal experience) about your cost of living at retirement is maybe 10 times what you are earning now.
3. Save a nest egg for vacations, even if you don't currently take any.
4. Make yourself an emergency fund - put money aside in a separate bank account for if/when you change jobs. No job is guaranteed secure these days. Don't touch this money unless you absolutely need it...things like medical bills, flood, fire, condo special levy come to mind. Rebuild this fund ASAP.

Once you have listed all these thing, see how it compares to your regular net income. If there is anything left over, put it in a fund for your dream car.

Don't finance the dream car entirely.  You already have established your credit rating, so you don't need to borrow to build a credit rating.
Do some math on how much a car loan actually will cost you over time. Base it on the drive-away cost of the car, not on its advertised sale price. (Your figures don't seem to add up - $650 x 60 months = $39,000. less than the JCW price.) Now imagine paying half of the cost and do the loan math on half the cost. Now, do the math on a shorter-term loan, say 36 months, and see how that plays out. The payments will be higher, but the overall cost will be much lower.

Once you've worked out how much the car would really cost versus how much you can really afford. Then you can plan on how long to save before buying. Put any overtime earnings into the car fund or the other discretionary spending funds.

Good luck with your planning!

PS. BMW Minis are very expensive to repair - check out some of the current threads. A classic Mini is much more affordable!

A car, any car is a liability. Put the money, that is burning a hole in your pocket in the bank or a sound investment for your Retirement.
