Yea, why not? it usually just depends on credit, which dealer you actually go to (as all are different), and how much you have/want to put down. Now being a first time driver, insurance is Always high. if under your parents insurance, if their's is good, yours should be too. and boys have even higher insurance :P my first (and so far only) car was a '05 zx4 focus, but i'm under my mom's insurance so it's under $200/month. but once i get those tickets and points off my license, it will go down ;)

why you sure can with 20% down, a paystub and proof of residence we have a few lending institutions that will give you a chance to start building your credit. I have a insurance agents that we do a lot of business with that will be able to asst you with your insurance questions. thanks, Vince
