And to specifically answer...
We had a Honda Accord purchased one year earlier. We sold it in 2006, so we didn't really get a new car. We did, however, buy a Nissan XE PU the same year. Paid it off in about 18 months. If we had gotten a house for $20K less, I don't think we would "gone crazy". I also doubt we would have done anything differently as it relates to car buying. (but the house would have been paid off by now... LOL)
