If MRZ415 really does live in SF he won't be able to save really for a home & mortgage even if his eating out expenses are $600 per month.
To the OP: If I was you I'd keep the car I have and save as much as I could or pay as much of college as I could.
Earlier in life I didn't buy a car until I absolutely needed it. I was able to enjoy life alot more. I had no money troubles and little stress. When I'd go out to eat with friends I never worried about how much something on the menu cost, I'd just buy exactly what I wanted.
My own "rule of thumb" is to purchase a car that is half my yearly pay or less. That leaves plenty of money left over to have fun.
