I can't really afford this car, but I'm getting it anyway. I would love to follow the 10% rule of car costs (car and related expenses should not be more than 10% of your annual income, i.e. $4-5000 for $40-50,000/yr) and be financially sound and invest in my future, but for me, cars are life. I plan on financing it for 5 years and having it paid off in 4. I take meticulous care of my car so should I decide to sell it, at least it should be worth a tad more than the average trade-in.
