I knew you were trouble

Never buy a car unless you can afford to pay cash. Take it back, use the "down payment" to buy a car you can afford, and use part of the money you're now not going to spend on a car payment, bank-required insurance coverage, and higher property taxes to rent a house with a garage. Park the car you can afford in the garage like a boss.

I try to be a constructive poster and mod, but this is post is really blowing my mind. :psyduck:

I paid less than $2k USD when I bought my car and own her outright, please tell me how I can now therefore afford to rent a house with a garage.

I'm operating under the assumption that the OP's car cost rather more than $2k, given that it was described as a "dream car" and they were getting salty about cat footprints on the hood. I'm guessing they're spending about $500-600/mo between the loan payment + increased cost of insurance.

drat, you got my hopes up :(
