Feminine sports car

Those are the only ones I feel like are acceptable for a single college student to drive! I need something that doesn't stand out too much!!

While I understand your concern for aesthetics, you should be doing more research beyond "does this look cool??"

You're on the right track with the mpg stuff, but going sports car isn't going to do much for you, tbh. Sure, it'll be better than your truck but are you even considering cost of insurance for sportier cars? You're in the prime insurance gouging range because you're under 25.

Nevermind the masses of recalls that happen with some makes/models, which is something else to consider. Then there's the track record of those makes who tend to fall apart because American made cars aren't the best made and have a lot of shitty problems with them as time goes on.

I also can't fathom why a college student is aiming to get something so pricey when they're in the age group most likely to get into accidents. If you want to go for nice, by all means, but there should be a lot more thought going into this other than "ooh, I want something coool!" You're going to get eaten alive by anyone trying to sell you something.

Lol money is not much of an issue. I obviously can't get a lambo, but I could get a standard issue Porsche 911 if I wanted. I just feel like if I get something more than $ 50k brand new people are going to be suspicious.

That being said, I can afford gas, insurance & maintenance. Though recalls is something I did not think of; I guess I'll have to look into that more.

If you read the thread I said I'm looking to buy used from a private party. I don't like dealerships. But at the same time it's looking like the cars I want may only be available at a dealership I can just go in knowing what I want and tell them. Most dealerships have websites now displaying most of their inventory...
