Lightbulb How much do you have saved up for the FT-86?

Has anyone else started saving up for FT-86? There is at least a year until it hits the streets, and it's probably a good time to start gathering your pennies for a good down-payment. I'm hoping to have 10K for the FT-86 after this summer.

I think I will have enough money to get a car under 30k in 2013.

I have started to pay off my car early. I'm scheduled to pay it off in 40 months but I've re-arranged my finances to pay it off in 4-5.

Although I will most certainly wait for a test drive before I decide on buying the FT, I have already been saving up for a down-payment on my next car.

Im worried about the future of the EVO, which was my first choice until I found out about the new toyota. Ive decided to wait until when ever the premium model of the FT86 comes to Canada and then decide. In the meantime Im looking forward too 400+ WHP in my neon =).

i have 15k + the money iv made up thus far selling my rx7 and SC300. Im ready now to put down on a new car, but im still hesitant on if it should be the FT86. Im not in a rush to buy a car just yet so i figured the money can pile up for awhile. Or i can drop that money into a CD now for my daughters tuition.

Ah... kids. They sure cost a lot... but they're loveable.

As for me, I do have some money saved up... but first need to pay off my student loan. When I'm debt free from everything, I'll make another debt

Im usually not someone who buy a car right when it's release? I usually wait till about it's 2nd or third year or MMC. Because I like to know about how good it is first from seeing a friends or being with a community. So I gave my self ample amount of time to save

Have some cash saved away for any car, possibly the FT. Have 120k in student loans so I'm not even focused on getting rid of those, they will be with me for the next 30 years so I might as well pay those slow and get a car I'm happy with now lol
