Now is a great time to be a first time buyer, I wish I could jump to a bit better place now.... then again I wish I could just keep a car a long time too, before it turns to a rustcicle.
Had this dellemma in '97, so I was actually needing a car at the time too (too rusty to put $$ into it :() , I picked up a 3 year old Camaro that was looked like it wasn't abused, & bought a small condo... + a cheap 10 year old minivan for winter.
But again I had a pretty decent job at the time, & this was just before the economy soured here in late 2000 (we are used to near 10% unemployment here & has been for a while, so this is nothing new to us).... but I looked lower than my means at the time, glad I did!!
I also found that neighbors tend to be abusive to cars in common parking lots too, something to consider.

Yes, a bit of a insurance break, a bit better on gas, & lil easier to work on, I'm glad Chevy went with an entry level option...
Why not consider purchasing one from Avis at a later date.. after the house?
