If I were you, the most important thing for me would be to move out of my parents' place. I know living there might save you money and you might have to rent a place for a year or two, but it's time to grow up. It seems like you have a decent job and a car to use already so why wouldn't you want to grow up and live on your own? After you move out, I would give it 3-4 months and assess your normal budget (loans,rent, food, entertainment, subaru payment, etc.) and then decide if you can afford $1,000 / month for a car.
