well if you want to buy a new 911 with some adds you will pay muihc more then for a cayman

A base 9/11 is still nicer. If you can afford payments for a $60,000 car you probably can for a $85 or 90,000 car too.

Not saying Cayman's aren't great, but for what they are they're a tad overpriced. You can find pretty good deals on used Cayman's. Better deal in my mind.

What? I can afford comfortably a 60k car note, I couldn't even touch a 90k.

Comfortably suggests $60,000 doesn't put a dent into your finances what so ever. The equivalent of someone who can afford a $20,000 car comfortably.

On a five year loan with $0 down and 1.9% financing, you are at $1,062.16 a month in payments. At $90,000, it's $1,593.23. Significant difference, but there's a very small "sweet zone" of people who can afford the $1000 a month easily but go broke for $1600. This is a simple way of doing it, usually you'd have a lot of money down on a car that expensive, so the difference is probably closer to $300 than $600 a month.

The average person needs to be making in the low six figures to be able to afford a brand new $60,000 car. To be able to afford it comfortably, you'll need to be making in the mid-100s I would think. If you can comfortably afford a $60,000 car, you can afford a $90,000 car. Maybe not comfortably, but you could handle the payments. For someone making enough to handle very large car payments, you're taking home a lot more than $600 in income you're not using. That money could go to a car $20,000 to $30,000 more expensive. I don't know anyone who makes enough to pay for that expensive a car comfortably yet is $600 a way from not being in good shape financially.

A base porsche 911 turbo non S model is still a 120k+ car... So it's a completely different ball game.

Speaking about Porsche, here is my main hoe dragging frame on Porsche wheels

Don't mind the dirtyness of the bitch, it was during the meltdown of the snow last spring.



2.0T VW GTI 2007 with a few mods.

Do they? I know 911's in Canada start at 100,000+ but I was pretty sure the regular, base 911 starts at about 85,000.



Maybe just me but I've never liked Porsche wheels on other cars. Doesn't fit.

I like a few a4/s4's with those twists (no idea the actual name)



though honestly imo the stock wheels look so good on b4's that I wouldn't change them

terrible logic

your asserting too much.

it depends on what other expenses the person has.

a person making 50k a year living with their parents (no rent) can prolly afford a 60k car but cant afford a 90k car

a person making 100k a year with 3 kids and a wife and a house probably cant afford a 60k car, and wont even think about a 90k car

You're asserting too much. Your first example would be an outlier so it's irrelevant, and I never made the claim that everyone who makes X can afford X.

For a person that can comfortably afford a 60,000 car, spending an extra 300-600 a month isn't the difference between comfort and struggle.
