Advice on new luxury sport car (Sedan or Coupe but at least 4 seats)
I am returning my current leased car in July and need pointers on selecting my next car. My budget is $600 per month with possibility of downplaying $10000 for the right car Now because I will be looking at a luxury sports car, leasing might make the most sense My requirements are for the most part should be a standout car and not a common one Here’s what I have shortlisted at the moment: 1. Tesla Model 3 either performance or all wheel drive Pros: great car, driveability, awesome tech, power and punch, green - no gas Cons: Everyone has it in Seattle :) 2. Used Tesla Model S in the range of $40k....this is just a thought right now..coz I will have to buy it..new car lease is almost $1000.. 3. Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport AWD Pros: Same trim level as the quadrifoglio - so same looks, decent power, Affordable lease around $450, stands out, quirky but delicious Cons: No V6, only 280 hp, reliability might be an issue but since it will be leased might be ok, again not a quadrifoglio so not amazing 4. Infiniti Q60S coupe Pros: Extremely good looking car, coupe with 4 seats, nice interior, good ergonomics, decent power, reliable Cons: weird handling, not the same snob value as some other luxury brands, could have been quicker but feels heavy 5. Other cars that I considered but am on the fringe: A) Maserati Ghibli - nice car , snobbish, stands out but a little expensive on lease and too big for me B) Jaguar XE - Great car but in the new version very underpowered engine, no supercharged V6 so a no go C) Audi, BMW and Mercedes - Almost every other person has these in Seattle so no .. Help me pick a car folks..I am fine with inclining towards a heart driven decision over mind since it would be a lease Thanks!
I'll skip the lecture about why financing is bad, blah blah. Suggest you also look at Lexus RC, GS, etc. Watch De Muro's YouTube video about the Ghibli.
I did watch his video and that’s what swayed me away from the Ghibli Lexus RC..sure let me do that
3K civic and 40k in parts
Grown away from Civic..no doubt a good car but I am 40 and I am done driving some of the jap cars in my 20s
Champagne taste on a Budweiser budget. (You can’t afford any of those)
What is your TC
$400k
You should definitely be able to double your budget without any real impact. $1500/mo is going to actually get you in to luxury.
Get the Infiniti Q60S for reliability, perf and a good looking coupe and then drive it for 100k+ miles without problems. If you want a lot of fun, you can get a cpo m3 or m4 competition.
Lada would look pretty outstanding and you can drive new one every day on that budget. :)
Model 3 if just want a quick 0nton60. M3 or m4
Passionate for a car! That is blasphemy!! You should only be passionate about TC and Leetcode here! What is this life you are talking about, heh? But in all seriousness, maybe an AMG?
Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. Invest the rest.
Thanks but no thanks...life is short
lol you must be a master liar to pass frugality lp.
