Help Me Out

Here’s my dilemma. I can’t justify keeping my Cayman. I don’t have a job, but have some cash saved. I’m paying $50 bucks to fill up the car every week, plus increased insurance, registration, and $1000 a year on tires is too much. I was making good money in the mortgage business but that popped and it’s time to move on. Plus I really enjoy just hopping in a car I don’t care about. That piece of trash I had in high school still gives me fond memories.

I’ve had my car listed for two months, priced right where Kelly Blue Book says it should be, and haven’t had even a nibble of interest.

I know that the most rational and logical car to buy is a used Honda Accord. It has everything I’d need plus it will run every day for the next decade. But as much as I am a practical person I feel that I’m too young to be so practical. I’m 27, I live with my girlfriend and a dog. I feel like I have one foot into marriage and then that means that there’s probably a litter of little Jon’s in the future, blah, blah, blah.

So help me out here. I want a fun car, but also know I should be practical. I don’t want a sports car unless it’s bad ass, and I’m willing to spend at most $20,000.

What would you do?

Used Honda Accord?
