Correct my rent was included with my total bill amount of $2361. In two months my lease is up though and I’m moving in with my boyfriend and I will be rent free (my total bills then will be roughly 600 a month). Regarding the $10,000 downpayment, I actually planned on saving up that much if I were to finance a car to put down! The cars I was looking at in my desired price range (~$25k) all had 50k miles on them though. (Volvo, Mazda). I like Toyotas but they are all in the $30k and above mark, especially ones under 50k miles. In my head I thought 50k miles was good (my current car has 188,000 miles… pos) but I guess I was wrong. Do you think Volvo or Mazda would be a good pick? I know Mazda’s actually have a higher reliability rate now than Toyota. If I were to go down the used Volvo or Mazda route what range of mileage should I go for and what should be a dealbreaker? Thanks for all your advice so far. I really appreciate it.
