Will you ever be able to afford the car of your dreams, /o/?

Bough them all already.

My dreams are mainly obscure nightmares, I don't want to buy those.

Already have. The problem is it can't move.

>>28697072 (OP)
Probably not.

>>28697072 (OP)
My dream car is less of a question about money and more of a question of rarity. Can't seem to find any for sale, they're just traded within clubs.

>>28697072 (OP)
Do they even make money on these? You damn well know they're just gonna get the down-payment then have to track it down and pay for a repo. Maybe the owner just repos then himself so he's just renting out cars for a month at a time basically?

>>28697072 (OP)
Probably, Milsurp is still fairly okay in terms of pricing. Like a $250k Humvee can be bought for $50k from a broker, even less at a government auction.

My first vehicle of choice will not be sold in the US after all (Bremach Patriot). Not sure how easy it would be to bring the Mexican version across the border.

With the right financing, yeah.

Are the dealers themselves evil, or just ignorant, or is it just the law of the market that forces them to rip off their vulnerable customers?

People who finance at BHPH lots basically never make it past the first payment, so the dealers have to make enough to:
>Get it repo'd
>Detail the car again
>Repair whatever they somehow managed to fuck up in one month of ownership
If you're not ghetto trash, the vast majority of BHPH lots will be just as reasonable as any major dealership in terms of sticker prices and interest rates

It was unthinkable when that photo was taken that 2/5 of those blonde girls would end up pregnant at 14 from drug dealers in their thirties, while the youngest boy would chop his penis off with social accolades.

>>28697938

You can't even explain why other than its expensive and was the "first" to 242mph or whatever the record was for like 15 years.

Same goes for the autistic halo cars like F40s, Paganis, and most Astons.

I didn't really have a dream car but I thought the skyline was cool because of fast and furious. Bought a 911 though and it's fun.

>MILLENNIALS MILLENNIALS MILLENNIALS

I've owned several of my dream cars and currently own one, because I rotate through them as a hobby. Acquire, enjoy, and when the thrill is gone, sell.

I'll throw out some wisdom here that will likely fall on deaf ears, but here goes: after its all said and done, it's just another thing you have to take care of. It adds a layer of worry and expense to your life that may or may not be worth it. The thrill of owning fades quickly with familiarity.

This might sound crazy, but if you have the ability, rent exotics instead of buying them. Yes, there is a cost, but there is no worry and you get to experience a lot more cars that way.

Since I've had the experience of both owning and renting exotic weekend cars, I can tell you with confidence that when you figure in all the costs of owning vs the expenses of renting, it's almost even. Better to rent the McLaren for a weekend or two a month than have to have to worry how much that brake squeak or light that just popped up on the dash is going to cost this time.

Now the hack is to buy something cheap yet exotic. Something rare yet cheapish that normies love is a smart way to get all the fun of exotic car ownership without the expense. Anything with doors that go up (aside from the Tesla X) is a hit. Mid rear or rear engine, like the Fiat X19 or Baja Bug, people love clean examples. I know the Fiat has a rep, but I always wondered why enthusiasts didn't just put the time in to sort those out and enjoy. Fuck, do a Lancia Stratos conversion on one. Cheap exotic that will be a hit with everyone. Get a faded unloved fried egg 911 and polish it up, clean presentation counts for a LOT with people.
Some of the cars I've loved the most were kind of boring things. I had an old IROC Camaro that was my first project. I made that fucker look new again by learning how to polish and detail myself, put all new light housings on it, lowered it with a better suspension and overall made it look sharp as a tack.

Anyway, iykyk

Owning an exotic is like marrying the hot girl. Sure, it's exciting and fun at first, but after a while you realize she's a high maintenance pain in the ass that you have to keep an eye on all the time

Renting exotics is like fucking escorts.

This. If you intend to actually drive an exotic or supercar for more than 500 miles per year, then it'll depreciate just like any other car (except way harder because 30% of a million bucks is WAY more than 30% of 20-40k)
>buy something cheap but exotic
Only makes sense from a clout chasing perspective. In the sports car realm, cars that are cheap and common are either poverty rental-spec copemobiles or really damn good vehicles that you're guaranteed to have fun with.

>>28699074

>>28699020
I've made some posts in similar spirit - I've had an evo for 11 years, love it, but I question if I am inconveniencing myself to own it.

My main challenge isn't the lack of thrill, but the difficulty in taking enjoyment of motoring in general. Roads are so full of traffic, hazards, and police where I live.

Motorcycling is cheaper and more fun, but higher safety risk. I am a married, working father, so I am not able to simply dedicate one day per month to get out of the city and drive

I find myself very happy in my wife's brand new rav4 doing the speed limit.

I wish I could sit in my evo revving out the gears and smashing through sweepers, but it just doesn't happen. Even on the motorbike.

I feel like the ultimate fun is something like drifting a rwd shitbox on private property

At first I thought same. Then I was thinking more. The ones who are smart enough will never take this deal. The ones who are stupid enough to take it will never pay it off. They will pay 1 or 2 months, trash the car, maybe even wreck it. So they are pricing in all these.

Yes - but it's about $400 a pop just to get in.
I've done it, it's fun, but driving on a track is very different to driving a flowing road.

Track driving you're always on the brakes and understeering, if you get what I mean. It's like stop/go compared to just driving through a pass at 80% traction limit (ie not too risky on corners, just enjoying them)

I sleep wonderfully on nice sheets and a nice mattress paid for by commissions from selling mouth breathing retards more vehicle than they can afford. When it gets repo'd in 5 months I'll just sell it to someone else who can't do math and only sees the $300 a month and not the 84 months.

I could afford a newer, more expensive car, but at this point, I really don't care. I can definitely appreciate the simplicity that cars from this era have vs the abominations that cars after ~2017 seem to be infested with. Though this one does have a head unitwith a touchscreen and carplay, low on the center console. And actual gauges in the dash. that's plenty enough for me.

>>28702412
I don't think that you get what I mean

My local track is pretty good, but being on a track is very "technical", especially if you're autistic and want to drive like a racing driver. Concentrating on the right line, braking markers, maximising corner exit speed.

Race tracks AREN'T glass-smooth surfaces, and while you don't have to worry about oncoming traffic, you do have concrete barriers around you, as well as other retards in your session/group

I don't have a dedicated track car, very few people drive cars with over steer (or perfectly balanced). So yes, I'm working with understeering into corners - even in the rain on used, mid range tyres


My point is that track driving is not as FUN as a spirited cruise on a winding road

>Will you ever be able to afford the car of your dreams, /o/?
Probably not. Most of my top dream cars are museum pieces at this point. Untenable to actually drive regularly. Mostly just serve as financial assets for rich owners. Some so expensive that they're legally owned by a car club or estate so they technically have multiple owners.

Even the ones that are not so rare and used to be feasible to buy have become incredibly expensive on the used market in the last couple decades. And with the cost of living going up, they've become more unrealistic to own.

never cared much for cars before
but then i drove a C8 generation A6 allroad with the 3 litre diesel a couple of weeks back

guess its just myself to blame for taking too long to decide

>>28706834
For what purpose? It's slow as shit. Wasn't even fast when it was new. Its value is primarily aesthetic and historical.

car of your dreams is a capitalistic materialistic cuck ideology. if you aren't after status like a faggot retard, you can buy anything, depending on your needs. just dont buy a new one. if you really wanted it you would get it. don't be lazy bum. but not zoomer cringe shit like a new M BMW, Porsche, etc. Having something like Bugatti as your dream is even more retarded.

hell if youre some benchmark racer you only need the initial cost of something like a B58, add a few grand and youve got a 700hp car.

btw if youre "into" cars and decide to save solely for particular models say costing from 10k to 40k and it takes you more than a year then you should drop this hobby particularly

>>28707475

regular a6 avant doesnt match it
a6 e hybrid avant is worse still

even test drove a polestar 3 and while being comfortable and all its not a car i want

i think ill breathe another year into my shitbox auris pushing 280k km
