There is nothing wrong with borrowing money when you have the means to pay it back.
The only reason to spend TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS on a personal use vehicle is because you have the money and want to spend it on that. A person with the most minimal wrenching skills (the lack of which should disqualify one from driving IMO) can get decent transportation that will last many thousands of miles without major maintenance for under $5000.
