Hey SoCalGirl!

First of all, aren't you living in San Diego? Lucky you--- you don't have to pay rent! That really helps.

I just went with my friend this past weekend; he bought a 2002 Civic. After looking at the vehicles in the showroom, I feel the need to get a brand new car. I have a 1991 Honda Accord right now, but it's seen better days. AC and powerlock doors don't work, 213K in mileage, stereo was stolen, etc. But, like you, I'm scared of the car payments too. I'll have to wait, but 2003 is the year I'm hoping to get a brand new car.

Hope you get the 2003 Accord!
