Wait, Sporty's pushing 30?  I thought he was like 24-25?

Take that estimated 30 and average it with that 25 to get Sporty's age.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

I am only 25

Cars seem to have dropped $1G in prices. I'm seeing multiple TSXs for like 9K now.

Multiple?  I see 2 under $14,000 within 200 miles of me, and they both have over 100,000 miles.

YEa the ones I'm seeing here are over 100K miles too... but like I said before thats not a huge concern for me right now, I would drive the car 50-60 miles a week at most

G35 coupes are getting more and more affordable

But on the flipside I could just wait a little longer and get an E36 M3 or 328iS cash

Or be a cheap ass and drive this into the ground

The newer G is quicker, cheaper to maintain, newer, more luxurious, and your womanfriend will probably like it more.

That's the right answer.

Aren't you moving to a new city next year? Perhaps you should wait until then :huh:

It wont really make a difference

But parking is so bad here, I'm thinking of leaving my car at my parents place till the weekends

So to that end yea financing a car to drive it 2-3 days a week doesn't make sense. Even upgrading doesn't make sense till I can actually drive.

You're coming around.

It's really the only sensible thing to do until you know what your situation is.

Besides, just think about how much more money you'll have once you get out of the city, particularly if you move to Texas rather than the northwest.

About $200-300/mo... just enough for a decent car payment...

Or an awesome monthly contribution to your savings/ retirement fund.
