but dude. you had to wait a year+ to supposedly get your financials under order and save to afford the car, and you need gap insurance? this means you probably don't have your financials in order and you can't afford the car. what you need is a cheap beater that costs like $2000, save for an emergency fund, then think about a "dream car," which will probably be a different car by then. if you do end up buying this car, which i suspect you will, for the love of god don't buy extras with it (you know, since you can't really afford the car in the first place).

I don't know the OP's exact financial situation but I agree with this. Buying out of state is fine, however dumping all you have at the moment to a down payment a car isn't the smartest choice. Like I said I don't know what you're capable of but from what you wrote it doesn't sound like you're grounded financially at the moment. Correct me if I'm wrong. There's more than just the car price for purchasing a car, you're gonna have to pay tax(probably another 2k), insurance can vary, etc. If you have disposable income and saved up more than 5k, then go for it.. But if you're dumping every penny into this, it's not the best idea.
