I say go for it, this is my first car. I am in the military as well, and the number of stares and comments I get from it on base makes it worth it. My situation is a little different being that I just graduated from the Air Force Academy, meaning no loans and done with school, but get something that you want. You will always have the chance to say up money for retirement, but you wont be able to ever enjoy your youth again especially with something that you really have been wanting. You will always think back to yourself, man I wish i got that car, and then regret will start to set in. Yea, car payments will be a bitch but its something you want.....you gotta pay for the things you want and enjoy in life.
Who knows when you will have the chance to get your dream car......you get married (that will prolong getting a nice car becuase of additional payments)..... or you have a child or two (that will certainly delay you from getting the car you want).... by that time who knows how old you will be and when you will get your dream car.
I love my car and take great pride in it, and you cant beat the gas mileage too (thats saving some money right there).
Also, i want to give you a a heads up on the military discount of $1000 or student discount , its not wortht it and is a rip off. Reason being you have to go through the payment plan of toyota and not USAA. The percentages (interest rate plan) Toyota has are terrible compared to USAA. In the end you will save more money not taking the $1000 discount because the USAA interest rate is so low. Hope this helps....
