This! I was making very good money, but some stuff went south and now i am making about 4-500 dollars every two weeks less then i was used to..but spending habits haven't changed...I'll figure it out or pass my debt onto my kids that aren't born yet.

Paid mine off in about 14 months iirc, financed ~$17k of the car (~$10k down), all parts bought on CC get paid in full every month because CC interest rates are what 10%... Guess that college degree lost me that thread you guys are starting.

Not sure if insult or.....

(no really i don't understand this part). Probably because i didn't go to college :P

If buying one now there would be no excuse for them to force options on somebody ordering a new car.

Exactly. It wasn't a deal breaker, it only added ~14$/month. But it was just a nuisance.


The bigger annoyance was when they told me I could drove over to the Subaru dealership and have their guys add a warranty included turbo for 2k.


Dealerships

I traded in my 2007 STi for 17,500 back in 2012 onto my FR-S which was roughly $26,500.

So.. $9,000 for a brand new car, lol.

Was much easier in 2015.
"Well sir look at all the extras on this car"
"Well I don't want all that stuff" (I did)
"Oh but it is already on that one but we have a black one over here with nothing on it"
"Nope I want Lava do you have another"
"No"
"Then I want this one but don't want all that stuff"
"We can get another in about a month"
"In a month I could have a Genesis I want that one take the stuff off"
"We can't do that we paid for that stuff"
"Ok goodbye thanks for your time"
"Wait, let me see what I can do"


I got a pile of stuff!

I need a mentality like yours lol enjoy what I can now, and pay it off before I retire instead of trying to save and not do jack.

Too many variables, especially with pre-owned cars.

For your planning purposes, I reckon you should be able to buy a new, base model, FR-S, with a manual transmission, for around $25,000 (plus tax & title).

For a used car estimate, I would suggest you consult with KBB for a ball park figure.

Happy hunting and ....... most importantly, pick a pretty one!

Great point, I mean I bought mine used (2013 brz limited with 34k km) for 27.5k (Canadian so 19.5 US$). Looking at my purchase price wthout more info you would think I overpaid a hell of a lot but in reality I got a great deal once you consider how much money was put under the hood before I bought it
