I thought I had a decent car for my age before I came in this thread
Note to self: work harder
Or just lower your aversion to monthly car payments, like many on these forums do to own the cars they do. It's not all as it seems in some cases so I wouldn't worry about it. Note to self: work harder

What's the problem with financing a car? Most people pay for their house on a monthly basis that doesn't mean they can't afford it. If the payments don't break the bank then you can afford it. Not to mention that a lot of car finance is available at a lower interest rate than most investors would consider a reasonable return on the cash they would have to sink into the car.djc206 said:

Basing how well you have done in life off the back of someone on the internet saying they're 25 and drive what're it may be is hardly sensible. Having had a quick look at leasing costs I could have an R8 V10 on the drive at 27, it means nothing. Just that I have put far more money into a vehicle payment than I should do. It doesn't mean I am in anyway more successful than the next 27 year old that has a Golf but happens to stick 1500 in the bank each month instead.

You're right you absolutely cannot determine success or hard work by the car alone. Can't argue with that at all.Having had a quick look at leasing costs I could have an R8 V10 on the drive at 27, it means nothing.

Nothing wrong with prioritising your hobbies etc. Just find it strange the other chap would feel disheartened. I could potentially have a lot more flashy metal on the drive but go for bang per buck instead. Saying that, I am always thinking what the next car will be...

My "daily" is worth about £1k and no doubt people think I should be driving something newer. But I do love the thing and I do get a certain satisfaction from not driving a modern white good.
The joy of choice...
