LOL your first scenario is funny. Not a single person on the planet making $2k/month can afford a $1k/month car unless they've got free rent.

thanks. The problem with the head on view is mostlikely cause the hood is raised up a little and sitting on can caps on either side to hold it up. I have a trickle charger hooked up to the battery since I dont get around to driving the car that often

what's even funnier is having about $8k/month gross, and feeling that you cant afford a new car. HA!

I have been registered in NJ since oh um March. When you came by my dad's I had NJ plates on the 7G. I just didnt have either one inspected in NJ yet. Got the 7G done last week and the 8G done this week

i wouldnt buy a new evo simply based on the fact that i could spend 5K on my S4 and have a better track and drag car and not have a cheap ass interior. then again my S4 new was around 50K so i guess it doesnt matter

Damn Astig, looks freaking SICK.

"Pootie too good! Pootie done did it again!"

On the flip side, my idiot friend jumped in my drivers seat and thought it'd be funny to bust a tight U-turn and take off as I was taking a leak. Yet him being him, he made complete contact with the curb. Yay for a full lip scrape. Dude owes me a new wheel.

You obviously have never lived in a small town. I can rent a 2-3 bedroom apartment for $300-400 a month. So $300 rent + $1000 car = $700 left for other bills.

I've lived in a town of population 1400 before. Thanks.

With my current bills, if I made $2k a month(which I dont lol), I could easily afford a $1000/month car payment ;)

thanks Craig. yeah took her out to get inspected. In NJ unlike in NY inspection doesnt count from when it gets done, it counts from when it should have gotten down LOL. I shoulda gotten them done in March but got them done over the last 2 weeks. And the sticker still says March and I lost 2 months on each. The guy explained it to me that even if he gave me stickers with 5 (May) on them in the computer it would still show as March. Oh well

I could afford a new C63 if I'd wanted to, but I don't, I'd rather have a E55, and buy the one I'd like to have, and be patient on a deal that I want.. Mostly because the E55 is the Merc that I'd really like to have, and I've set a strict budget to be within so it is more than affordable.

That's $900/month. You want to rephrase what you just said? It's more affordable to lease a BMW 5 series.

what maintenance do you have to do at atleast $100/month? i believe you, i'm looking into one and was just curious
