I'd like to do ~$5,500 down. ~$1800 of that will go to the great state of Taxachusetts (6.25%, assuming MSRP of $28,500 after destination), so the remaining $3,700 will come off what's left. Doc fees and registration should be about $500.

I just hope I can swing 60 months and don't have to stretch to 72. With my $300/mo vehicle allowance through work ($230/mo after tax) I know I can afford the remaining $220ish/mo. If it comes out to more I'll go to a dumb phone and cut my phone bill in half - f**k phones! I fully expect to make more money in the upcoming years, but then I need to start thinking about a house, too. F**k housing, too! It's all about cars.

Worst case scenarios: I lease one and buy it outright at lease end (not the best financial decision but...) or I save a couple grand going with the Scion... I really hope it doesn't come to this, though.
