Right now I'm on long island with a car. Just got a new job in NYC. When I move to NYC the first thing I'm looking to give up is my car. I'm going to be saving heavy.

Why not public transportation? **EDIT: from where you currently are instead of moving?Right now I'm on long island with a car. Just got a new job in NYC. When I move to NYC the first thing I'm looking to give up is my car. I'm going to be saving heavy.
More or less same for me. Finally graduated back in December. Making a little over 60k. Working outside of DC and cost of living is ridiculous depending where you're at. VA suburbs are looking 1600 for a studio/1bdrm. Can find something cheaper, but they'll be really old outdated buildings and still be about 1300. MD side will have you at about the same price if you're in MoCo. PG is a lot cheaper and more for you're money. A mortgage payment here is cheaper than Rent in DC, VA, and other MD suburbs.
The main issue is the commute. The further out from DC you are, the cheaper the housing. The flip side of that is your hourly commute. Some people spend up to 2 hours each way getting to work. If you can offset your gas consumption by cutting down payments on a lot of things they'll do it.
It's because the average American wants to buy things they can't afford. You can get a fully equipped new car for 20K, but people always want what they can't have.
In NYC leasing a car is stupid unless as already stated your company is paying for it. Secondly ZipCar is like the Netflix of car rentals, most New Yorkers don't even need a car honestly.
Selling my car was the best thing I did financial in 2012.

Our economy is not going to improve, ever..
The same houses in PG that cost you 200k are going to cost you 500k+ in Bethesda and Rockville. My parents live in Bowie (Fairwood area) and the market has the house valued at 480k. That same house will go for 800K-to over a million in parts of MoCo.More or less same for me. Finally graduated back in December. Making a little over 60k.

Yes and no. I live in PG County, I pay 1280 for a 1BR 760 sq. Rent is cheaper closer to DC but I like my peace and quiet, car to remain in my parking lot, and having a diverse neighborhood. The avg house is $300k in PG depending on where you want to live, outside the Beltway (Bowie, Laurel, Upper Marlboro) you paying around 400-500K for a house where as Inside the Beltway you paying less for a house around 200K
Reading comprehension fail. I didn't say they started at those prices and your starting prices aren't even right. Check the website and get back to me. MSRP for the V6 = $22K, V6 premium = $26K, GT = $30K, GT Premium = $35K.

The camaro 2LT is $28K and the 2SS is $36K.

My starting prices are correct sir I sell them everyday. Ford.com doesn't govern the price (Not to mention you can only build 2014's on that site, which ARE NOT EVEN OUT YET). Guess you must think paying MSRP is normal :x

A lot people commenting on this thread have never actually bought a new car.
To be honest until I bought one I thought you actually paid MSRP
I hear if you pay msrp then you're a fool.
people are too comfortable with debt
I got called out for being "overly conservative" by a guy who has $60k in student loans, $10k in credit debt, and just signed 6 year loan for a brand new V6 mustang :x
A VERY BIG ONE.
