Haven’t made that call yet.
I’m done with buying ‘new’ cars. Even though I’ve never owned a ‘new’ one per se, they have been 17-20k ish. Screw that. when this one dies (hopefully a long time from now) I’ll spend 8k on a 2 yr old car with 20k miles on it. And drive it until it dies.

You have the right mentality there...
Save 3-6 months of living expenses then buy what you can afford in a car beyond that, if you only have 2000 dollars beyond that then guess what, you are going to have to drive a 2000 dollar car.
Don't give in and do not cut corners and DO NOT FINANCE no matter how much you like car A versus car B
