Im Window Shoppin'

yea so during the buying process of my car, i had several budgeting issues to consider.

i definitely needed a car to get to work. my options were to buy a cheap car around 5-10k and drive that around for the next ~4 years or so. then upgrade in the future when i got the funds. this will allow me to build up short term funds more quickly.

then i was thinking, maybe i should jus spend extra n get a nice car right now. i already been driving ~7 years in regular cars since high school. i also got a good enough job to pay for it. these nice cars are gonna run from 20-30k in price. gonna definitely hurt my savings/funds for the short term.

the other day i was at carmax, test driving a bunch of shit. volvo jettas, audi a4's, infinity g35's, acura TL's. i wanted to test drive benz's, lexus's and bmw's. but the day was already too long as it was. i already know people with A4's and G35's. didnt really wanna get one of those cuz of that. the jetta drove lik a peice of shit, so didnt really wanna get one of t hose either. from test drive experience, the audi and the acura were the best. i was thinking lexus and benz's i can get later when im older, prolly in retirement. bmw's are sick, shoulda hit those up. they were generally too expensive though.

but now to the main topic of interest. the acura test drive was fucking amazing. i never felt a car handle lik that before in my life. the engine was music to my ears and the car felt heavy as shit, felt lik a powerhouse! man after that test drive, i seriously understood why so many of my friends are car fanatics. and did i mention that car looks fucking sick! instantly fell in love with that car, i needed dat joint!

other shopping options included buying camry's. apparently, used camry's were only running for 16-18k, whereas new ones were lik 22-23k. since the demand for camry's are so damn high their resale value was only a couple thousand below new cars. so if we were to get a camry, was gonna jus get a new one. use 05 acura TL 's with lik 50k miles were lik around 25k. so buying a nice used car was almost as good as buying a new camry. my TL was 06' and only had 14k miles on it, going for 25k, a nice deal, since these were usually prices around 29k and its basically new.

so i decided to jus get the sick ass car paying extra short term. i figure im young an good for pimping now than later. we bought it in full so no interest as well. ill pay it off within 2 years, especially with all the funds im saving from living at home.
