This isn't so much a question about cars as it is a question about how you want to structure your life right now and the financial decisions you make that will live with you for years to come.
Spending a few bucks on a junker car that you work to keep going seems unpleasant, but if you go to the bank and take out a loan, that means you are signing up for some shackles of debt that you'll be carrying around for several years. Your job is relatively new, and you seem to be enjoying it. Are you ready to commit to it for the long haul? Will you be able to make it through each month with all your expenses and also a big car payment? Or will that be a strain that wears you down over the years?
I can't answer any of these questions for you.
For me, I'd rather drive a shit box and be debt free. It's liberating. Although that intermittent stalling problem on the Camry is frustrating when it happens every 2 months or so.
