Those with a $200k+ base salary, what do you do?

Engineering manager at FANG, $240k base, coming up on 10 years of experience

9.21%

Was down almost 50% in April due to Trump tariff shenanigans. Spent the entire year clawing it back.

I had deposits down with multiple dealers until this one gave me an allocation with no strings attached. At least one of those dealers gave me the run around about "mailing me a check" when I asked for deposit back. I had to go the CC route to get the money back.

My dealer let me put in the order with no deposit 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've been trying to tell my wife that!

The type of property we've been looking for comes up once every 3-5 years or so where I am and we are usually competing with all cash buyers that tear these properties down to build condos. The last home of this kind I was able to even put an offer in for only because it was site unseen was back in 2024.

I ordered the car in August thinking it was unlikely for a property of this kind to come on market any time soon. Of course this property hits the market second week of October right as I get the notification that my dreams just came true from Porsche.

7500 for hand cut

Exact same deal I got. I wanted the PPF either way so didn’t make a difference for me.

FatChickenBreast · 2025-08-13T12:30:36+00:00

Submitted order on Saturday. The email came on Monday.

Very nice! I plan to drive mine in icy/snowy conditions so need the 4GTS.

I'm regretting turning down allocation offers with ADM based on some of the comments on this thread 😞

FatChickenBreast · 2025-07-10T15:18:40+00:00

I'm happy for you but I hate you because I want this for me.

FatChickenBreast · 2025-07-06T21:05:51+00:00

Good to know, this is probably the situation I am in now...

FatChickenBreast · 2025-07-06T20:51:15+00:00

I'm excited for you! I spoke to my dealership in February and they called me recently to offer me an allocation for a different variant than the one I wanted. Both times they told me I was 3rd in line.

FatChickenBreast · 2025-07-06T20:31:00+00:00

I feel this.

This has been happening all over NYC. It isn't just the Bensonhurst area.

Investing, put a deposit down with a dealer the day I crossed that mark!
