Should I get a GT-R?

I'm not going to superimpose my values on the OP. I know nothing about his financial situation except that it's not my problem and it's none of my business.

Since he asked, I will. I guess I'm in the minority here..imho that's not nearly enough money to be buying a car that expensive, but I tend to be conservative with my money. Affording the payments =/= Affording the car. Payoff debt, purchase with cash. $1,100/mth on a car? All I can think about are all the other things I could do with that each month. While I consider myself a car enthusiast, I do understand everyone has their own limits and what they value. I don't judge other people and what they do with their money, and the decision is yours, but that's just my two cents.

And you get it back when you sell if the market doesn't crash again for the 17th time in this country! A 100k house will cost you $193,000 in 30 years. A gtr will only plummet. That extra 93k in interest could buy a used car.

Man... $100k to $193k in 30 years is a really shitty ROI

Is what it is at 5%, hence if someone got $163k from work, pay that **** off faster! Why make a bank 93k richer?

100k a year isn't THAT much for a car this expensive + insurance + mortgage + living expenses.

Don't buy it.

A lot of people who have a GT-R don't even make 100k and they are just fine.

Wow at how that dealer treated you, I don't know what I would do when he told me to get out.

+1 on the comment for taking no prisoners when dealing with the devil dealership. If you don't have to buy - milk the dealer till they are dry and when it seems like you got the best deal in the world, they will still make a decent profit on you.

Just as an example on how much a dealer makes or made on a lexus is-f - straight out of dealer sons mouth (germain lexus, FL) - the least they make is 15% of what you pay out the door and the most is up to 25%.

check out one of the top news stories; when Tesla motors attempted to bypass having dealerships and sell directly to customer (alas still having a maintenance facility) - so much lobbying, bitching, suing, and crying happened that they are now fighting off so much bs.

Just google; tesla direct sale model and then you will realize how much dealers make per car.
