If you are 18 and have been able to EARN and save $30K then that's awesome!

When I was 21 back in 1985, I bought a new Golf GTI, Mars Red with manual sunroof, manual steering, no air, manual windows and locks. It hada 5 spd with 100 Hp but it was a cool car for the time and it cost me $13000.00 inc tax plus I traded a beat to shit banged up '79 Grand Prix.

Biggest mistake ever. I had no money to get by when I started 2nd year university, parents were NOT supportive and I dropped out with some exemplary grades, plus some that reflected my mental state (stressted) at the time.

If you have the world by the balls I say go for it. Otherwise, that money will come in handy for education, or just spending money while you re in school if you cant really earn any while studying. In my case I should have bought a 1981 Tercel to get by until graduating. I guess the equivalent nowadays would be a 2006 Echo.

Life is a journey...
