Buy a GTR or a House?

bacalhau16 · 09-12-2011, 11:41 PM

I also was referred to as "kid" at some point in this convo. I dont really care or am offended at all, but not a kid by any means. Im the general manager of a restaurant doing approx $50k a week in sales, nothing crazy, but not a small restaurant either. I first started general managing a restaurant when I was 21, and moved out of my house about the same time on my own. I just really love cars. A lot. And deciding between a GTR or a house, is a serious debate of sorts to me. I know what the correct answer should and will be, as I am already purchasing the house, but it still doesnt mean I dont look at GTRs for sale on cars.com and autotrader everyday.

The home inspection was today. Things went mostly as planned and look positive. It was more of a reassurance with what I already knew more then anything. Certainly excited with whats going on, but there is certainly a lot to be done. Buying a car wouldve been easier, lol.

The house is a foreclosure with a few unknowns. But its dirt cheap at $126k. Pretty large, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath that needs a little cosmetic work. Some new flooring and paint and things of that nature.
So, I love cars and have always wanted that serious premier sports car, but realize that at my age, 27, perhaps I should be thinking of the future. But man the present is too fun to think far ahead.
So, what would you do?

Honestly, if I had known the US would **** the bed so hard on our credit-rating, I would have bought a house instead of a Z06. I love my Z06, and knowing what I knew then, I would have done exactly what I did again. However, knowing what I know now, house.

Just my .02 while I am in my more rational frame of mind

just bought our house.. and while it's inflated for HERE, it will increase in value as the market here is only growing... was a wise move for my wife and I

plus, if I ever get orders out of here I could sell for profit, or rent to another military family

That's so full of win!!! If you luck out you might even get a few more $$ in a few months. The title company made a mistake during my closing, they found out about it almost 1.5 year later as part of audit. I ended up getting an unexpected check for a few thousand $$
