No you can not afford the car. Take the advice of most who have replied to this thread.
I always think of things like this....
If you choose to NOT buy the car now, you can always do it LATER.
If you choose TO buy the car now, and end up in financial ruin, you will only LOSE a boatload of money and set yourself back by 2-3 years.
In the long run, you will surely be able to comfortably afford the car much sooner by waiting, instead of trying to push the envelope now.
Another thing that costs people a ton of money that most of us don't calculate, is the cost of flipping vehicles. It's not just price sold and price paid, there's registration fees, taxes, etc. that can add up QUICK. I once bought a car and traded it in after only 3 weeks of ownership. Granted I got a great deal on it, AND traded it in for more than what I paid, but I still lost the $800-ish in registration/tax because I had to pay it again on the next car.
