Yeah, absolutely. Cash in hand I'm okay up to around $4,000. Much more and I'm looking into financing. I'd really like a car I can hold on to for 10 years.

    I'd be comfortable up to the order of $20,000 with 20%-25% of that as a down payment. Somewhere along those lines. A 2016 Rav4 is a bit above that, but maybe worth it? Another goal is not to have a car payment for more than 4 years. That's you and goob saying fuck used car dealers...fortunately I have a credit union who does as low as 2.24% APR auto loans, not sure how great that is. Need to shop around on the financing.
