My mom had to sit in the back cause I was picking her and my aunt up from the airport. So she was sitting sideways cause her legs wouldn't fit with my aunt sitting in the front, and she goes "you don't love your mother" lol. As in if I loved her, I would have bought a 4 door car

My parents told me to get whatever car I wanted. Everyone else said get a Camaro or Mustang, or used Cayman, or used Corvette, anything but an FRS.

And oddly enough you joined a forum where they still say that.

Odds are, you're in your 20s and are clueless about money and investing. Odds are, you don't earn a ton of money, and are at the bottom end of your earnings cycle. Odds are, your parents know your finances better than we do. Odds are, your parents are 100% correct. Do you have $30k in cash to buy your new GT86? If not, you can't afford it. It may look like you can, but you can't. People who take loans to buy depreciating assets are typically young & clueless (redundant) |

Anyway, not everyone who takes out a loan to get a car is clueless. Yes, it doesn't usually make the most financial sense from an investment perspective, but neither does buying one of the twins to begin with. It also makes no financial sense to have children, but people do that too. That being said, OP, you should really do the math to see if you can actually afford it, and take a look at what you have to give up to do so. Your parents may have a point, and while you don't have to listen to them, you should definitely consider their reasoning. Rather than dismiss their advice, my suggestion is to ask for paths that lead to you getting the car you want and see what they say. Maybe you pick up a side job for a year, or reduce spending on something else? Or simply wait a year?They know you better than anyone on the internet does. |

My mom thought it was silly to buy one but still enjoyed the car. When I got my updated BRZ, she said the same thing again. My dad thinks I simply painted my old FRS yellow.
