Buying a car on credit can be necessary in some situations, but that doesn't mean buy a $25k new car when a $5k used car will do.

That and try not paying the property tax for a month. You don't even own the land and never will.

Then you have places like Detroit, the city collapsed and houses no matter how great they ain't worth shit anymore. Everything's relative.

I can only think of one scenerio where you would want to buy the car with cash and not deal with a loan even if the rate is 0%; which is the risk of dollar devaluation / currency reset (i.e. a bank holiday resulting in massive loss of your money's purchasing power) before you paid off the loan in full. But I'm treading GLP/ATS territory here. :D

If you don't have $5k, then a BRZ/FRS is probably not the best car to purchase either.

I get my check direct deposited into two accounts. One checking and one saving. I put away a fair amount every week :thumbsup: Its like I didn't even know it was there.

But yes I do spend a fair amount of money, but I am moving in two months and my rent will be 300 to 400 dollars cheaper, so thats my car payment soon.

Sausalito is expensive as fuuuu....
