Can I afford a brand new car with a budget of $7000?

My budget is $7000 and I own a1999 Honda Accord that still reliable expect for repairs that come up here and there.Other than that I'm happy with the car and I'm hoping its going to last me another few yeara. However I have been thinking about buying a new car allot. Can I afford it? Should I just stick to my car?

Well $7000 plus a 99 Accord does not equal a new car.
If you make enough money and if you have good enough credit, you could take a loan out for a new car.

You can aFord a 2014 sonic with few mIles

Yeah, sure.

AFAIK, you can't. Not even a new cube can be had for 7k.
7k can get a you a reasonable, but not new, Camry or similar.
cash value of the acccord in a sale or trade will be negligible; if it's running well, KEEP it. It is cheap wheels. Insurance costs should be minimal. Continue to bank cash.

You are either going to have to get financing or save up.

  • What's a good car with a $5000 budget? I don't know too much about cars even though my father is a mechanic. 19 year old guy with only 5000 for my first car. I like Honda's, BMW's, even Rx8's but I'm skeptical about picking a car. What are goods and bads about said cars? Any suggestions on specific cars that are reliable, hardly give problems, and look decent? Please and thank you in advance.
  • What career do I need to afford a house with a swimming pool and a new honda or kia? I'm 23 and when I was 16 I drove a 2001 toyota echo and kids at school made fun of me. I want my future kids to have better cars. What career should I go into to be able to afford what I want?
  • What brand new car can I walk out with $19,500? I asked a previous question about buying a Honda CR Z but that's probably out of reach so If I could walk out the door with a car for only $19,500 that'd be great. ( $15,000 loan 4% interest and $5,000 down payment) What are some suggestion? Some makes I'm interested in is Mazda, Hyundai, Honda, & Nissan. Since I've driven big trucks most I'm interested in compact cars. Maybe like a coupe or hatch back or something like a Veloster.
  • Is it a good deal to buy brand new honda civic 2015 for $18000 OR brand new honda civic 2016 for $22,500? I chose 2015 honda civic for $18000 because I wanted to keep my monthly payments low. Did I save money here?
