Im old and work for a bank so my advice is not what you want when I say you should give it a miss this time around.

But I will tell you that I was suffering the same thing that you are back in 1989 as a 20 year old when the MX-5 came out. Here was this "drivers car" that was financially out of my realistic reach and I would have put myself in to debt to buy one.

Smarts won out and I continued to drive around in my XY Falcon. It was a really good financial decision.

Some 20-25 years later I am in a position to re live that feeling and it does feel good that I can afford to be what we now term an "early adopter".

So if you really shouldnt do it, dont. Wait a few years and grab one 2nd hand or do what I did and wait 20+ years for the next big thing.
