Okay so basically a while back I made a thread about buying a new car. I helped my Aunt Negotiate at the dealership when she bought her new car, so she gave me her old car (~2003 dodge stratus). I also am starting a business that won't require more than 10k max to start and have just sold my landscaping business recently.

I've been going to car shows since the age of about five and I've always wanted a car of my own. I found an awesome Chevy nova for $11,000. Would it be appropriate to buy this toy at this point?
