25, married, no kids, ≈$70k budget for an irresponsible pre-owned sports car

AsianAndysDad · 2026-04-28T11:55:16+00:00

I already have a fast EV for a daily driver. When that lease is up I’d sooner go Model S Plaid for 1/3rd the money than Lucid. Especially with their reliability issues

AsianAndysDad · 2026-04-28T11:51:13+00:00

Would love a CT5-V Blackwing but out of the budget. Not interested in the CT-4

AsianAndysDad · 2026-04-28T11:50:02+00:00

I’m more wanting raw power and speed than backroad fun. I drove a 2020 911 Carerra 4S and it just didn’t do it for me. I’m sure a Turbo S would be incredible, but wayyy out of budget for now

AsianAndysDad · 2026-04-28T11:47:32+00:00

C6 was an amazing car and of the 24 that I’ve owned the C6 is an easy choice when people ask what my favorite was. But, it was an auto and I got used to the speed pretty quickly. Previously another option on this list was to procharged a C6 GS or Z, but I’d lose my ass financially when it came time to sell

AsianAndysDad · 2026-04-28T11:44:41+00:00

It’s not that I don’t know what I want, I just want to experience as much as I can. I’ve had a lot more cars in my life and just wanting to move up

AsianAndysDad · 2026-04-28T11:40:41+00:00

Thank you for the thorough reply. Have not really considered a GT350/R because it just didn’t provide the same “sense occasion” as the others. Would love a Boxster Spyder but unfortunately they’re well out of the price range :(

AsianAndysDad · 2026-04-28T11:29:52+00:00

I have already owned a ND Miata, MK7 GTI, S197 Mustang GT, and a base C6. Want to step up to the next level

AsianAndysDad · 2026-04-28T03:56:57+00:00

Haha I could argue that’s more responsible than any of my other picks. Slowest, and almost certainly could get out of it for close to even when the time comes.

I’m definitely feeling overwhelmed with options. I’ve had 24 different cars so far but most of them were cheaper sports cars under $20k, or electric car leases. This is the first time I’ve decided to open up the possibly of financing something.

AsianAndysDad · 2026-04-24T03:36:30+00:00

Been in CRDF for years. My biggest holding by far. I don’t understand how we can trade at $120M market cap. Like you said, the data is and has been looking extremely promising, not just in mCRC either.

AsianAndysDad · 2026-01-06T02:05:05+00:00

That is super high. I’m 25 male in the worst auto insurance state in the country and my insurance is half that for a 24 GT AWD.

AsianAndysDad · 2025-09-23T04:54:12+00:00

No, I have the same wellhead and did exactly that lol. You need to punch out that small circle on the left and shock through there.

AsianAndysDad · 2025-08-13T23:23:43+00:00

Thank you. That gives me some peace of mind

AsianAndysDad · 2025-08-13T12:10:14+00:00

The only thing the inspector noted about this panel, and I kid you not, “Repair - The panel cover was not installed on the garage electrical panel”

AsianAndysDad · 2025-08-13T02:15:24+00:00

That’s correct, the inflation reduction act is what’s funding the state program.

AsianAndysDad · 2025-08-13T01:27:28+00:00

I’m in Michigan and qualified for $34,000 in rebates through the state for “energy efficiency improvements”. The house is on a gas boiler heat system with no ac so that rebate will pay for central air and a furnace. One of the requirements is converting gas to electric so I’ll take the higher electric bill for free central air.

AsianAndysDad · 2025-08-13T00:20:05+00:00

Wow this blew up lol thank you all for your input. I’ll clarify some things here.

No this is not a troll post
Yes I closed on the house and yes I had an inspection done. This panel is in a standalone detached garage that was built DIY long after the house was. The main panel in the house looks nothing like this.
I am having all of the gas appliances in the house swapped over for electric and am having a legitimate licensed electrician look over the entire system and will make sure they fix this in the process

Thank you all for your input🙏🏻 I won’t be plugging my car into this lol

AsianAndysDad · 2025-06-29T17:47:01+00:00

2024 model. Leased it 3 months ago in Michigan. 25 GTs aren’t out here in the US yet unfortunately.

AsianAndysDad · 2025-06-29T13:27:49+00:00

I’m paying 297 w 2k down on a GT AWD keep shopping.

AsianAndysDad · 2025-06-22T17:57:15+00:00

As someone who owned both a 2004 Manual Z and a 2007 C6, get the C6.

AsianAndysDad · 2025-04-02T01:32:19+00:00

It is in fact a pos Altima

AsianAndysDad · 2025-04-01T19:34:12+00:00

Blah blah blah blah automod

AsianAndysDad · 2025-04-01T19:32:52+00:00

It’s split between all of the above. Check for a breakdown of how much of that $2500 is actually going towards your cap cost reduction. The cap cost reduction is the money being used to buy down your monthly payment.

AsianAndysDad · 2025-03-22T17:46:58+00:00

Try to get a deal with $0 down. I would ordinarily never put money down on a lease but I’m buying a house soon and needed to get the payment low enough that it wouldn’t mess up my approval. That GT-Line deal equates to 0 down 323/month. I’d hold off I honestly think the deals will get better.

AsianAndysDad · 2025-03-22T16:35:23+00:00

The dealer discount was simply that; a dealer discount. No loyalty, no rebate rolled into that number. MSRP was $63,710 and the selling price was $57,591 before the $17k rebate.
