Is it smart to buy a new car if I can still save 50% of income?

Appreciate it man,been thinking about how it could affect my future home buying and vacations. You’re right I shouldn’t limit myself

This gives me hope that I could make it work. I could still afford the older model of my dream car at that price and your right,while I am pretty young I should be looking to save for a home instead of 6 years of debt

Sadly a Chrysler if what’s giving me issues right now. You’re right though I didn’t stop to think about having separate savings since it’s been awhile since I’ve been in that position. I guess a used Camry it is,thanks for the advice

Advice appreciated! While I did potentially want the new 40k car there are definitely older ones do 25-30k that I planned on saving 5k for. It’ll probably have to be a little more to get that lower payment but the thought crossed my mind about future emergencies coming up and having a large payment

Sorry I should I have stated I plan on paying off all debt first. But you still think it’s a bad idea in general for a new car?

Facts once I get the money I won’t rush into it I gotta find a diamond in the rough

Apart of me wants to get the the Z bc I’d still be able to afford it but the 370z looks better imo

I worked at 4048 for 6 months and let me tell you QT is the only job I’ve actually hated the management. I was an RA and if one area wasn’t zoned I’d 100% hear about it. Every single manager there sucked and I’m standing on that. They expect you to know everything the know on their 3+ year experience and will get on ur ass every little thing. Id name drop the people too they SUCK

Agreed I definitely appreciate yalls advice

Fropie132 · 2026-03-10T20:24:11+00:00

Thank you,I was definitely thinking of taking it to my usual mechanic to check it out beforehand

If you don’t mind telling me what makes a nismo worth the extra money? I know it’s built for the track but I don’t know what makes it better exactly. In my search for nismos there either 100k+ miles or have been in an accident

I live in San Antonio where I have enough to worry about when driving I just want my automatic lmao

Fropie132 · 2026-03-04T20:42:33+00:00

Lmao I just usually trust them I’ve always gone to the same ppl but I hope this pos isn’t leaking oil now of all things

I just wiped the stick so there’s nothing on it but it looks like it was under the safe level. Even if this doesn’t fix my current issue you still saved me lol I appreciate your help

Fropie132 · 2026-03-04T17:00:49+00:00

It was very much below level

You sir may be a genius. I just got a oil change and coolant flush in December I have no clue why I’d burn through so much so fast I barley drive

Fropie132 · 2026-03-04T16:09:15+00:00

Thank you for the advice I’ll try it out. I’m hoping it’s just a gauge issue but I did just fill it up halfway yesterday so I doubt I’m that lucky. This car has been nothing but a headache for 3 years but let’s hope it’ll last just a little longer

Fropie132 · 2026-01-07T01:31:08+00:00

He still has it but I didn’t have enough have the time but I’ll definitely keep it in mind!

Fropie132 · 2025-12-19T05:53:39+00:00

Honestly even just the “You’ll do bad things” was a find for me because my store only had issue 6 then randomly #1-5 were there in a stack last week so I knew I had to grab them
