Golf R seems like the perfect option.

I just paid $1000 for 48k service for my IS300 I feel so violated or am I not giving Lex/Toyota the luxury respect it deserves? At Benz I don't even bat an eye cuz I lube up for it.

To get back to being my best self as per therapy, I can start with a really fun car to drive lol

I’d probably be willing to spend 50% of my yearly gross income on a car but only because I have no other debts currently and would not finance. Eventually I will have to buy another family car that is automatic I suppose.

so if you made 10k, you'd be willing to spend 5k, if I read that right?

I'm just curious how people budget for cars. I think it's an interesting topic as it is so widely varied.

The general public would sit down at a dealership and get 4 squared into a payment they can "afford".

If the insurance costs are affordable, the car is affordable. Buy meow

Accurate.

I dunno, my truck was more than 50% of my annual gross and I have kids and a mortgage. But I saved for years to afford it. Don't know where that puts me. Comfortable I guess.

Yes but I think if I made that little I wouldn’t be shopping for a $5k car, maybe a $2k car. Similarly if I made a $1000000 I wouldn’t be shopping for a $500k car either. I’ve had vehicles a little over 50% in the past when I was younger but I paid the loans quickly and had large down payments. I would say I’m a lot more conservative with my finances now, and take a lot of shit from family and friends for being a cheap cunt.

Just heloc that shit

I forgot to get a heloc with my last mortgage. Rookie move.

I'm all about low interest loans. Nothing better than a 0% or 1% car loan. Outside of mortgage I don't carry a lot of debt so I can take on a decent sized car payment as I'm not a fan of putting a lot of cash down on a vehicle if low interest financing is available.

Was nice back in the day when AMGs qualified for those low interest loans. If that happened now, that would be awesome. Own or lease at a low rate while getting ~10% or so in the markets.

That's why I drive a BMW and not a Merc. I have 0.49% financing on my X3MC. It's almost a free loan.
