Yeah, what you have saved up is what you can afford for a new-to-you car. It's not any more complicated than that. Don't listen to dealership financing shell games - their job is to put you in a car regardless of whether or not you can afford it. Your job is to buy one you can afford. Good cars can be found at $5,000 right on up.
Also, steer clear from SUVs if you're on a budget. Higher mark-up, more maintenance, terrible on gas, and really lame to drive.
