im another young guy(20)that has bought new cars (2 actually), I had a really good job and money saved up out of high school and bought a 2005 F150 Crew cab. I drove it for about a year and sold it to buy a 2006 Trailblazer SS. The sticker on the TBSS was 41k and i got it out the door for 26,500$ put 10k down on it and my payments are 326/month. I think the tbss was a smart move for me mainly b/c ive driven it for 27k miles since last december and book value is still more than i paid for it. If you plan on keeping it for a while get what you really want, if you plan on buying a new car every year or 2 get somthing that will retain its value well, or even lease it.

a car is never a finacial investment. an investment earns you money. a vehicle will only lose you money. if you really want an 08, and are concerned over the cost, here's the logical financial choice:buy an older used lexus/infiniti for 5-6k. in 2 years, sell it for 5-6k, no loss on your end. @that point, buy the 2 year old 08 in the low 20's. someone else took the 15-20g hit, you've had a nice, reliable luxury car. the adui still has plenty of its life, in most cases, its just starting to wear in. sounds like a lot of this purchase is to out do your friends' new cars.

Ok, so as I watch the Redbull Airrace, I think I have come to terms with this. I have decided to find a good used A4 2001-2004ish, 1.8t quattro. just 2 minutes of looking produced 30+ within 200 miles with 50k or less milesfor 20k bucks or less. So thats the plan. Part of it was to show off a bit, but with my goal of buying a large chunk of land, and building a house within 7-8 years, going out and buying a 35k car right now would be no bueno. Thanksto those who offered insite.
