the ones ive found all cost about 30,000$, which in my books is pretty expensive.

QUOTE=Rickey89;545601]General Rule of thumb is for your car payment to be 20% of your monthly income, if it exceeds that i wouldnt advise it depending on your expenses

aka: rent/utilities/phone/internet/cable/food/insurance/credit cards/possible G/F etc

so i guess it depends on how much you put as a down payment; also if you are looking to afford a vehicle you may benefit from a used 370z, i have seen a couple advertised on these boards that i wished i would have seen before i bought mine new

if you are able to get one, you will not mind living off of ramen noodles for the remainder of your loans term lol [/QUOTE]

alright, that makes sense. i didnt know about the 20% thing. thanks!
