Don't let the mustang guys hear you saying that.

I do understand the concept of "if you can't cover it cash you can't afford it" and I try to live by that rule. However you have to know where you have to use the system. I was buying a USED manual transmission. Just because a Lamborghini is within you're means your willing to pay way more than you should ? Being in my means or not means nothing really, it's the goal that matters.

The car was under my means. I could have afforded a brand new one, but I found a 6speed CPO exactly how I wanted it and at a great deal.
