have to echo what others are telling you... living within your means usually implies that you don't have any car payments (sorry, true)... at most maybe 1/10 of your after-tax take-home... so if you're paying $600 / month for a car, that means you need $10K per month pre-tax... and those are numbers for people that have a savings account and retirement account! I think if you're living in the bay area, you may even want to be more conservative... I realize most people don't follow these kinds of rules, but then again check out how many people are upside down on their mortgages and cars... okay off soap box

you haven't really asked anything technical about the cars... any questions? what are you looking for? speed, looks, handling ???
