Everyone here has incredibly sound advice. But i'm going to play devil's advocate and play to your young side.

I think you should get the car now. You have plenty of money in the bank and you could easily put down 10k and still be fine. Not only that but you will have enough money in the bank in case some shit goes down and you lose your job.


Here is the reasoning. You are 28. Not getting any younger. While its nice to prepare yourself for life's hardships, what's also nice is being able to experience fun things like a new sports car when you are young enough to enjoy it.


Here is my reasoning (take it with a chunk of salt as i'm pretty biased)

You are young. You have the money. You dont know what will happen in the future and because you can do it now you should.


I'm 32 with a BRZ and an S2000. I did it because i could afford it. Do i own a house? No. I'm also not married and dont plan on having kids. I'm very much of the mentality that if i have the ability to do something while i'm still young then i'm going to do it.

My situation is different though. I've gone through multiple major surgeries and ive experienced first hand that life is very fragile and i cannot be one of those people who work for 99% of their lives just to finally get something that they can barely enjoy because they are too old and medically they cant anymore.


But again. A lot of the above posts are very responsible. I'm just trying to coax the little kid in you to enjoy life a little.
