New car shopping

And now I’m on Cargurus looking at Corvettes. Give me 30 minutes and I’ll post a pic of me holding the keys.

 

Lmao!

 

Honestly Joon, that’s how I live my life as well. I’m methodical and do my homework but when I have something in my head it’s going to happen and sooner rather than later.

 

I say do it. I have a commuter and an old truck right now until I get my next Tundra. I keep telling myself to wait but I’m getting the itch bad again

 

I dropped $550.00 on my GS300 back in April for my commuter / project car. It's the commuter for now because we're saving to purchase land and build our home but once the truck is paid off next year and land acquired along with the home build, then I'll build it. My wife actually helped drop the motor and trans! KEEPERI think to date I have $1500.00 in it

 

I have a bunch of nice high end mtn bikes, nothing really with a motors per say. I have a nice Honda snow blower if that counts lol, I picked up a nice little Freespirit RTT Trailer earlier this year and loving that.

 

One of the main reasons for looking into another car, i spend so much time in my truck. After insurance and car payment im looking at roughly less than $600 per month to have this sti.
Also I paid off all of my student loans earlier this year. So there is that too. On one hand I justify it as example of having little to no debt and something to enjoy with all of my hard work. But then there is the other hand that is very conservative...

 

The vettes don't have AWD, where I live you need that.

 

Didn't read, but DO IT

 

What are some other options to consider?

 

Do it! I bought a new 2017 Honda Civic for my commuter a few years ago. Needed something with good gas mileage for a 60-70 mile round trip everyday.

 

What is your budget?

 

Yes the tundra will keep getting mods. As of right now I just got my damaged pelfrey bumpers back from powder coating and deciding to put them on or sell them. I feel like one of the lucky few and I just got my check from their insurance for the damages.

 

$40-45k Id like it if it was less just out of personal preference

 

I would rather have a Benz or BMW or Lexus than that Subaru. But that’s just me.

 

Have you given this a test drive?

 

Trying to stay in his price range with awd though. The base model is350 f sport awd runs just over 45k, as compared to the 300 f sport at 43.5k.... but yes... the 350 is better

 

I would suggest something that you could pay cash for or have paid off in 6-12 months. That's just me. Maybe save for 6-12 months and look around a while.

Also, do you have somewhere to park an extra vehicle, if not that could be an extra PITA.

 

This is a very large part of the reason I sold my SS for the Tundra. Daily driving the SS gave me no incentive to drive the fun car (‘02 Boxster) I purchased just a year before getting the SS.

Sold the SS, did some cosmetic work to the Boxster to renew the look, and purchased the Tundra. Include the wife’s 4Runner and we have a vehicle for any occasion.

Edit: I forgot to say...Just Do It! (as long as the financial situation makes sense).

 

Those all sound great one of the big things I love about the subaru is it’s 6speed manual.

 

I have a big enough shop to park it, not worried so much about finding a place to store it. I believe I could have the remaining balance paid off in the next 6-18months depending on much I want to toss at it

 

I can’t bring myself to drive another vehicle. I love my tundra, it’s my DD

 

Damn the Lexus are nice, love the rc f

 

Not a fail anymore!

 

If I were to to a DD it would probably be a piddly little Audi A3 then I could drive like a twat

 

Absolutely do it. If the bills are paid, there’s money in the bank, why not. Enjoy life while you can. When you’re in your twilight years and you can’t really enjoy all the $ you’ve squirreled away, youll regret it. I’ve had at least 1 additional toy since 2002, and I’ve never thought “gee I really wish that money I spent on said toy was sitting in the bank collecting interest”. My current toy is a 03 Cobra with 617hp. The brute, unrefined power is a fun change of pace from the Tundra.
