The problem is right now, I can't afford either. My cut-off is $30k, literally. Really, spending that much is on the high end of my comfort level so I want to spend more like $25k right now.

Basically my home-buying experience has not started helping my credit yet, it's actually destroyed it (I suddenly have $130k in debt with none of it spoken for, yet!) but the credit counselor assured me that in 9 months my credit would be soaring. The only problem is will my Jetta last another 9 months?

Guess we'll see!
That makes sense. Why not get a used car until next year? I know it sucks waiting, but maybe you can get a 2SS/RS by then. First five years in a house is rough. I am on year 5 of my 4th house. If it wasn't for the economy, things we be getting even more open, I might have considered a Z06. But to me the Camaro is less of a settle and more of a passion anyway. Good Luck and take your time. But rather than buying ANY NEW car, I would find a nice used car for $10-15K. There is a lot of great buys in that range that would be worth $20-$25k in any other economy. It is a buyers market ESPECIALLY in USED!

Good Luck!
