So now.. to your answer, make sure you have a sure win plan in your future, but hearing from your current situation, DON'T DO IT~
even if I have this plan.. I still have to work that 5 years to be ABLE to afford it on my OWN, and I still haven't included finances, maintenance, etc.

Not going to knock your plan but, financing a car isn't a bad route to go even if you end up paying a little more for it in the end. For someone young, inexperienced, and doesn't have any credit, financing a car can be good thing. It's important to build good credit so that when you do need financing it's available (buying a car, buying a house, starting a business).
Anyways, just my 2 cents...
