Man-maths to the limit

[GroundEffect]

We all do this. Don't lie. We all think about what is the most outrageous or expensive car we can 'afford' in our current economic situation.

So let's put it down on (electronic) paper.

Rules:

- If not able to buy outright as of today through savings, assume 10% APR and max 5 year payback on whatever finance you do (state which)
- Must not exceed your 'after bills' amount per month through finance
- Consider repair/service costs (educated guesses allowed but must be stated)
- Tax and insurance considered, fuel not
- Must be awesome

I just came up with the idea and need to actually work mine out...but I'll let you use your Friday afternoon for the same task

I reckon with 'my' current (06) 997 C2S as part-ex, I could maybe get into a 1-2yr old 997.2 TurboS and pay it off over 5 years....

(this would only work if my very kind and amazing wife continues to pay all other vehicle and household costs)

Run it for how long? 5 minutes? A year?

Must be sustainable with tax and insurance. I'm not considering fuel just to make it easier.
