I’m financially conservative most of the time. When it comes to vehicles, I get what I want at the start and keep vehicles a looong time. Yes, you’re just starting out, and you do not want to finance a lot….but…you’ll be throwing good money after bad (getting a random car) because in the not too distant future you’re going to want that truck…so get it now. You’ll be happier.

Where I live in the states, lots of Dodge 1500s for sale …2018-2020 with 30k ish miles for $35-38k. Pay $10k and finance the rest for 2-3 years…buy an extended warranty just in case.

Buying a slightly used car saves $$ on taxes and insurance and registration. If your grades are good from college you might save on insurance.
