My current monthly expenses are $250 for rent, about $30-50 for utilities, $87 cell phone, $120 for students loan bill. I just started working in IT and i make 31k a year before taxes. I got an insurance quote for $184 from progressive.

everything you said adds up to $691. That doesn't include your monthly car note, gas, and food. Also it doesn't include going out for fun expenses and misc expenses. You make about $596 every week, gross income. I wouldn't buy it. You have a free car already, that is paid off. Don't play Catching up with the Jones, or in modern terms, catching up with Kardashins. You don't want to live paycheck to paycheck just for a silly little car.
