At what net worth or what income level to consider a 70k vette
Just curious to see what some of ya'll say. I considered both on mine. Not sure if their is a formula(like for how much of a house you can afford) for toys. Both my payment and principal as % of assets are lower than 10%. Seems like it wouldn't hurt for me especially because i know my man obama is going to change my diaper when I get old. :rock:
What about ya'll how do you budget in a badass toy like a c7. |
This thread won't end well. To many factors to take into consideration. And by the time you're old enough to need your diaper changed there will be another POTUS in office for folks to blame. lol

I agree...about umpteen pages of politics, testosterone, preaching and word wars coming up..bet it's locked in 3 pages....

One rule I would use. When you can ask the salesperson "do you take cash", then financially, it is the right time.
Then the only question is: do you actually bring a briefcase full of cash and tell them, "start counting", or just bring a check. |

If you are not able to maximize your retirement savings because of the c-7 purchase (or other expendetures) then it is a bad idea... Debt to Income ratio is the biggest thing... I would agree. :eek:

The reality is that the name brand is an important part of why these people purchase/lease vehicles... Which is why Kia's objective of being a premium go to brand is going to fail...miserably. |

if you want a c7 buy one, you only live once and nobody knows how long that will be. did you read the thread where the guy was on his way to the dealer to pick up his c7, he pulled over to help a motorist and was struck and killed. very sad. buy what you want today, tomorrow might not ever come. my $.02

My first Corvette carried with it a payment slightly larger than my house payment. Not a rational decision for anyone but particularly for a CPA! However, I didn't regret it 30 years ago and I still don't regret it today. 30 years of Corvettes have been a wonderful fun addition to my life. I guess what I am saying is it is not a financial analysis type of car--formulas dont work!
PS But be sure you can still make that house payment! |
2 questions
first - if I lost my job, could I still make the payments or pay off the loan?
second, if I was in a financial bind would I be ready to sell the car to pay off the loan? if the answer to either is NO, then don't buy it. Ed Foy, CPA foytoy 2012 torch red grand sport convertible |

PS But be sure you can still make that house payment! ^ OK - you've convinced me. I'm buying a C7 Z51 immediately, no more waiting . . . . . . then I'm gonna move in and live in your house :D |
:D $140k

LOL I believe it's a toy to have fun on weekends or car shows, and if you can't afford a toy in the range of $70 maybe get a Camaro.
