Financing isn't a problem, the price is.

I can get approved for a low interest loan at my credit union since my credit score is excellent. However, I'm still a college student (one year to go!) with a part time job and a good chunk of money saved up. I'd honestly jump the gun at spending $12-$14K for a current generation lightly used/new model if I had a "big boy" job but I simply can't afford to do that. This is why I'm leaning towards spending no more than $6-$8K - at that price point I can keep my monthly payment at or under $100/mo so I should be able to afford it even if I find myself still working my part time job after I graduate for a while.
