Make sure you stick to the old Mass companies like Commerce insurance. Most of them are still stuck on the old mandated insurance prices, which are far less than the national prices. I insured my Yaris and my BRZ for less than what I pay for just my BRZ in NC.

You don't need the Camry unless you have to get to work in blizzards. If there is two feet of snow on the ground and no plows and you have to get to work, keep the Camry. Everything else the frs can handle with snow tires and weekly cleaning. This car is amazing in the snow with the proper snow tires.

Dave Ramsey is a coward that screwed up and instead of being a man and paying off his debt, he decided all debt is evil, which is complete and total idiocy. He makes a few decent points, but most of what he says should be taken as comedy.

This. Finance as much of the car as you can unless you get some idiotically high finance rate. Payments might be annoying, but not having the money to pay for a car to be fixed that you need to get to work is far worse. Might be the only reason to keep a second car around if you can afford it.
