Sounds like you need to take care of YOUR investments a little better...
Cars are one of the worst investments ever. In fact they should be called a depreciating asset for a better description. Only a small fraction of a percent of vehicles gain value. 370z's or titans are not in that category.

What you are attempting to do is minimize your loss. Investing in Facebook has a better return!

Anyways, if you want to have nice vehicles, that's great. That's why we are here. Just don't fool yourself into thinking that its an investment.

If you purchased $20k in stock and it proceeded to lose 55+% over five years, would you consider that a good investment? I look at my stock portfolio and I would die if that happened! I'm just trying to stay ahead of the s&p
