Financing a car, advice please...

[CollegePlayer]

Im in college and would like to invest my poker earnings into purchasing my first automobile. The thing, though, is that I of course have no credit and I am curious as to what options I should expect in terms of financing. After all the fees I expect the total cost of the car to run me about $16-17,000. I currently have $21,000 in a checking account, with a seperate savings account for money that will go towards taxes in January. The other negative factor is that I have no job, I doubt the dealer will understand that internet poker is a profession.

So, do you think it will be posible for me to put down maybe $10-12,000 and drive away happy? Or will I have to wait until I can safely pay completely in cash? I am making about $600/wk from poker right now, if that matters in your math.

Thanks...
