At 25, I am in a similar situation to yours, but I had a lot more in savings so I was able to put down almost $12k in trade in and down payment.
Like everyone else has said you need to total up what your necessary expenditures are:
Rent, food, savings, gas, insurance and any other things that are completely unavoidable or planning for your future. Then add in the other expenditures like entertainment, clothing, household items. Once you figure that out, just plug in the values for the month with the car, everyone's idea of scraping by and living comfortably is different. Some people $300 extra is a lot and others not so much.
