Used civic or equivalent. Save money instead of dropping a brand new bmw/mercedez and thank me later :) Let that compound interest do its magic!

Don’t buy a car unless absolutely necessary. Save that money and invest in stocks. Avoid debts. If you need to buy one buy maybe 3-4 years old and self finance it or use your own financing. You will thank me later
Here’s a heads-up: that high TC looks great on paper and on Blind but its translation into real net worth is far more tricky and full of caveats. Otherwise all the FAANG engineers on Blind would be living in the larger mansions of Saratoga hills, Woodside, Palo Alto, Almaden valley and Los Gatos. In reality, I mainly see Directors and above living there. So save like crazy, live like a reasonable peasant (not Unca Scrooge) and build your net worth first. Then cruise, rest & vest or retire early without indulging in any of that FIRE extremist behavior.
I know that very well. I am all about investing. I don’t wish to lease an i8 right away but I do need a car. My take home after taxes and everything is 112k, I plan to spend 20% of that on car and 15% should easily cover my other expenses. I am gonna invest the rest 65%.
You don’t wanna lease an i8 ever 🤓

Bought a Mazda6 2016 Grand Touring (a new one in 2016 would cost $34k) for $13.5k. Looks and works great. Don’t buy a new car, get a used one and ideally a Japanese one. Once you have made bank and have a lot of savings you can consider a new German one
Where did you buy the car? I am also looking for mazda but they seem to be around 15-16k+
I got really lucky with the deal. Out here in Cali, a Mazda6 2016 Touring model which is in good condition and let’s say 50k miles would be around 14-15k. So I think getting a 6 Grand Touring with almost 75k miles though, for 13.5 was a great deal. I got it at the Infiniti at San Jose.
TC or GTFO. Lease it and thank me later!
2015 Mercedes C300. I got it CPO so it was a good deal.
