Default Re: House, or car?

Go for the house.

If you can rely on mass transit to get to your job and you're in a metro area, like others said here, the house as an investment will help you accumulate equity, while the car depreciates in value with every passing day.

Also, the cost of a car is not just the purchase price. You've got to factor in:
* insurance
* annual registration, inspections
* maintenance
