Should I get a GT-R?

MacCool

I'm not going to superimpose my values on the OP. I know nothing about his financial situation except that it's not my problem and it's none of my business.

Since he asked, I will. I guess I'm in the minority here..imho that's not nearly enough money to be buying a car that expensive, but I tend to be conservative with my money. Affording the payments =/= Affording the car. Payoff debt, purchase with cash. $1,100/mth on a car? All I can think about are all the other things I could do with that each month. While I consider myself a car enthusiast, I do understand everyone has their own limits and what they value. I don't judge other people and what they do with their money, and the decision is yours, but that's just my two cents.

And you get it back when you sell if the market doesn't crash again for the 17th time in this country! A 100k house will cost you $193,000 in 30 years. A gtr will only plummet. That extra 93k in interest could buy a used car.

100k a year isn't THAT much for a car this expensive + insurance + mortgage + living expenses.

Don't buy it.

A lot of people who have a GT-R don't even make 100k and they are just fine.

Keep the Z, buy a house - interest rates are stupid right now ... wait a year and ask yourself the same question again. Meanwhile, keep as much cash in your account as you can, cash is King and sh*t changes from one day to the next.

Smart thing would be mortgage. Then buy used. No need for you to lose all the depreciation on a car.

I would never buy a GTR with the crappy *** roads we have in LA. Imagine the first bent rim or rotor?

Plus - it will never appreciate. I can tell you that up here in LA - you need to make a lot more than 100k to live really well. My HHI is 3x yours (not braggin, just saying) - and we don't have that much extra money. And we are not extravagant (I've switched cars often but have an FX and ZR now). The cost of living here is crazy - so if you can pay down the house, that's what I would do. I won't buy my real dream cars until I move out of LA.

That's all I have to say.

Mike

yes

You can get a used GT-R, 2009/2010 in the low to mid 60K range. Much better move than buying a new one.

There's a red '09 (my buddies previous one) in Phx for less than 70 and a West Coast Customs Mint Green painted '12 in Scottsdale for about 84 that you could talk down immensely.

All depends if you want to make the flight and ship, or new. Both less than 10k miles I believe.

WAY too much for that 09, are they smoking crack? The 12 price is ok.

Fat fingered the first price.

The second, yes, which is why you could talk them down a ton.
