So I recently applied for a position as a training specialist, but I feel like I’m more than qualified to look for other roles. I have work in finance, but I do have my PMP, but I haven’t led any large projects, just assisted on them any advice to a young professional that just graduated with an MPA Fiserv, Inc

Buy the car...drive it until it dies....save up for your next car and pay CASH. It's a great deal....despite what people think cars are not assets.....
Clearly the smart move is to buy and drive.
Selling it and buying another car seems unnecessary unless you really don’t like the car.
If you do sell immediately, then at least run that idea by your parents first.
It’s 50% a gift to you, and there could be some feelings if you immediately sell it without checking with them first.
One other wrinkle. After talking a bit more, my parents have also offered that I could have the car and whenever I ultimately decide to sell it, I pay them 75% of the final value. Having this option, I think taking the car, having no payment, driving it for as long as I can, then giving them that percentage 5-8 years down the road is my best option
My question is, is why are you trying to use your parents and milk them of every penny when they’re trying to help you? You’re going to try to drive it until it dies so you can sell it for a small amount and they only get a couple thousand off it? Idk, this just strikes me as weird. I would never consider screwing my parents over like that.
what if you don’t buy it? then do you have to find something else to drive?
if you have the money i would buy the car and keep it for a few years. thats a good deal
they are giving you. no reason to go crazy on upgrading your lifestyle / getting a car payment being a new grad.
never get a car payment. average car payment is like 760$ a month. ppl are driving around in their retirement.
Cars are the biggest waste of money, so buy it and enjoy the only good deal you will ever get on a car.
Also, people remember a nice car, but no one remembers the person driving it, so it doesn’t actually make you look good.
Finally, given your age, every extra thousand you don’t invest is a massive hit to your net worth. Compound interest is your friend, that car is not.
