[quote=jpinpb]The bummer of this is I had the TT paid off and I was more than happy w/it regardless of how old it was. I worked so hard to pay it off. I was the second owner and it was taken care of. Now I had extra money every month going into the piggy bank for the house. I don’t really want car payments. But realistically, if I want a nice car again, that’s what’s going to happen. And I should be practical and just get any old car and stash the cash for a house. So the struggle going on in my head and emotions. I came across this one: Boxster S It’s over my 30k limit, but looks sweet.[/quote]
jpinpb,
I’d offer to sell you my slightly souped up audi but friends don’t let friends buy used audi’s…
On a more serious note… I’m sure you already considered it, but if not…Have you considered a lease? Normally, I wouldn’t suggest it…But I vaguely remember you said you were self-employed..If that’s the case, perhaps a lease would work out for you if you could write off part of it.
Judging by your tastes, I don’t think you would be happy with something korean or japanese, and while you are slightly warmed up to domestic, I think in the end, deep down inside you really still want something german. A 3-4 year lease on a something german would basically cover you until just about the time the warranty runs out and things start to cost $$$ to fix…Also, some of these german cars like bimmers include 4 years of maintanance. If you could write off the expense, it might end up working out for you. Just a thought.
