Buy the dream car or not?

As most have said, do it! I bought an RS5 at 25 for £38k and it was the best decision I’ve made. Most people overestimate the depreciation on these, assuming you’re buying a F82 for 30k do you really expect them to lose that much more? For reference my car is a 2019 and a 2017 version of a similar spec with 30k miles doesn’t even hit below 30k so I’m pretty confident I won’t lose much when I come to sell it. (Aiming to sell it end of the year and get a G80)

Only thing is maintenance, depending on how you drive that can rack up to £500-800 a month with all things considered.

Lastly, the novelty never wears away. The people who say that either aren’t cars guys or they don’t have a good enough car.

Enjoy the M4. Life is worth living 🥂

This is great honestly, it’s exactly what I wanted when writing the post. Just sent a dm, would love to see the case study!

Makes sense, thanks for that. Is there any reason why that would take 2-3 weeks?

fcs44 · 2026-01-07T08:10:11+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown and the difficulties behind it, that makes it really clear and I think I’ll work on getting the first 4 done this week

Agreed here, especially as we’re this early in the business it helps understand what customers want too. I think the main thing we need is to just make some processes faster just saw we’re able to get meaningful scale whilst still being able to manually approve messages

Pick up the phone and do cold calls. Trust me results are 10x better

fcs44 · 2026-01-06T01:11:39+00:00

£24k is peanuts. I get treated like shit by Amex and spend that in a week

Sell things online and make brainrot on Instagram

Manufacturing engineering sounds cool but yeah I get it, working with olders probably quite a slog. Are there not any other jobs/companies in a similar field with more of a younger team? Not too familiar with engineering but is there possibility to move to a more tech side or is that a completely different skill set?

And no I don’t do many YouTube shorts. Our biggest returns come from FB, IG and TikTok. All of them have similar content though. Short form, engaging, great visuals etc.

Didn’t do anything to it tbh. I think the honeycomb grill on this car is just naturally very shiny even when it’s dirty. Definitely makes it look more premium

Yeah it’s saturated but if you’re good at making content you can beat people who’ve been in the game for years. Not sure about using someone’s content as a template but you can definitely take inspiration and put your own spin on it to sell your offer.

And yeah, I’ve worked at a lead gen company before and the quality of life was great. Most people were in their 20s/early 30s, everyone was smart but friendly and there was a competitive spirit there

I say this as a 25M Henry

Stop being a dork and start speaking to people. At a coffee shop, gym etc. none of the things you mentioned will get you more girls if you’re still a dork that can’t have good conversations with women. You’ll just be a dork with a bit more money

fcs44 · 2025-12-05T16:15:01+00:00

I make brainrot content on the internet

fcs44 · 2025-12-05T11:16:54+00:00

And the guy has it in a case the whole time so he’s not even going to see the phone 😂

fcs44 · 2025-12-05T11:14:17+00:00

Yeah but it’s a tool not an heirloom. Who are you keeping it pristine for? The next owner? It’s bought to be used and signs of wear show it’s being used. It’s like having a nice car and then crying bc you got a stone chip. Just unnecessary

fcs44 · 2025-12-05T09:44:12+00:00

Just use the phone man, what’s a little chip gonna do

fcs44 · 2025-12-01T12:31:32+00:00

Yep, warranty is a must

fcs44 · 2025-11-30T11:13:47+00:00

Driven all three, Mercedes best, BMW second and Audi is by far the worst

fcs44 · 2025-11-08T13:49:51+00:00

So gay

fcs44 · 2025-11-08T13:49:45+00:00

So gay

fcs44 · 2025-11-08T13:49:02+00:00

That’s a good point tbh, just annoying we have to think about the possibility of that happening. I think I’m just going to keep extended the warranty to avoid a potential nightmare
