I'm 20 almost 21 never needed a car, so never had my drivers license. until i joined the air force.

I make 1100 a pay check.. 400 dollars are taken out each paycheck for rent and bills.. so that leaves1400 dollars a month to spend.. 300 on food a month so 1100 dollars to spend on financing a car and the insurance for it..

what im getting at is i know nothing about cars and i want some advice on what amount should i be looking for when i look at cars...what can i afford and how much will the estimated insurance be??

thanks to all who answer this...
sorry grammer is bad, on my mobile device
 
it all depends on what you want. The higher the model the higher the insurance. If you have good credit it will result in a lower payment. Because you are 21 and in the airforce you insurance wont be as high. I would reccomend getting a good car for around 12000. a good downpayment is around 3000-5000. Make sure you always got to a mechanic to check a car before you buy it. Research the value on kbb so you know what amount your looking for. don't sound so desperate when you start talking about numbers and let the dealership do the sweating.
