Found a job i love and im making really good money (up to 100k a year)
Problem im having, I can finally afford to get another car i can enjoy.
I had financial issues about 3 years ago and had to give up my 06 sti and dreaded it, now im driving a pos...
Cant decide if i want to go down the project route again or just grow up and get a new car...
Everytime i think about a new car it sickens me because i know i wont have fun but at the same time if i get a project it will be a money pit...

Cars i was thinking about buying project wise:
Another subaru or evo
S15 ls1 swap
older m3 bmw
lexus sc300 with 2jzgte (love supras but to much)
foxbody mustang build
300zx TT

New Cars:
I work at honda so i would probably purchase a honda...
2016 Accord Sport (Sporty with good gas mileage and only 24k)
2016 Civic (Again, Sporty with good gas mileage)


HELP


I doubt you will make anywhere close to 100k. You'd be insane to attempt the financial responsibility of the cars you listed after starting a new job. You have some questionable credit history. You just started a new job and first thing you do is go looking for a "s15 ls swap", as quoted above.....good luck with that.


e/ - by your car list, either this is a complete troll thread or you're an idiot.

ehh, hes being practical honestly

a nicely built supra or s15 ls1 will be around $20k

i doubt this is his daily either so he still has to pay for that, insurance on 2 cars, rent/mortgage

$100k/yr isnt that much

after tax he only makes like $70k probably

you probably live with your parents tho so this makes 0 sense to you

You can't get a legal S15 period in the states, and even if you could you're not building one with an LS for that much. A built MK4 supra is more like 40k as well.

IF YOU CAN AFFORD THIS-
Get a Toy/Project car;..... Most Dealers allow you also lease their cars pretty cheap. Like $100-$200 a month from your check to take out a basic new car. This way when you need a reliable car for a long drive, take the Store car, when you want to cruise at night, take your toy out. I have few friend who have this option. One works at Porsche, so he gets a fun toy on the weekends the other at a car rental place (enterprise I think) and get a car from the lot every night.

Was really leaning towards the sc300 with the 2jz, love the motor. Best part is, its a cheaper build
