2014 GTR

Duh

There's no way on earth you can get to invoice on the GT-R, especially in California. I've got them at $3K off, which is about as good as I can expect.

try harder.

Only get the GTR if you can afford to maintain it. It's a cheap entry point to that realm of car, but the tires are pricey and wear out quick, brakes expensive, and I think something with the engine needs checked out every 20k miles.

If you got a 2nd car I don't see the need for the hybrid

When you get older, you most likely won't really want a GT-R...so buy the GT-R.

The yearly service is about $2000 bucks. Oil changes are about $150 depending on where you go. That is about what a newer BMW/Mercedes runs.

I've got $30,000 for a new car. I'm looking at either buying outright a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid or making a downpayment on a 2013 Nissan GT-R.

This is not a troll. I will definitely buy one of these cars, with a minor exception on the Fusion.*

* Unless I get a sweet offer on a 2013 Nissan Altima.

Speaking from experience the GTR is awful for driving around town...

 

[Doppel]

Cross shopping a fusion, altima, and GTR. Yeah, not trollin'. I said GTR BTW.

 

[DominionSeraph]

GT-R. Wrapped in Madoka.

 

[madoka]

Most DEFINITELY a TROLL

Yup a troll. Who cross shops those two cars?

How much is the troll toll?

Someone who is conflicted between practicality and desire.

When you get older, you most likely won't really want a GT-R...so buy the GT-R.

Yup, you wont always be in a position to make such decisions.

Congrats! Out of curiosity, would you car to discuss the financials? Seems like that payment is going to be a whooper!

Round about $1,130 a month for a 60 month 0% interest loan. He put 30k cash on $98k. Add a couple hundred for interest and you're sitting at about $1,300?


edit: If my math is right, 68k loan balance, and if he got the 3.9% from Nissan, with a 60 month loan, he's lookin at $1,250


edit2: OP you got ripped on those floormats =[

Thats what I saw when I did a load calculator, but was wondering how many months, how much did he end up putting down, trade in, etc.

 

[exdeath]

LOL pwnage.

meh i just figured he stuck with the original 30k down and longer loan payments. Doing those calculations in my head, it made me realize I can put half my monthly salary down on a 70k car....if only I had 1/2 my salary to spare.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

Bahaha awesome. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't put $50 generic mats in a car like that.

 

[Baked]

I can't believe they didn't throw in the floor mats for free.

OP, what color?

 

[HybridSquirrel]

as baked said, most dealers throw in floor mats for free if you ask.

 

[Crono]

Nice car. OP, did you plan on getting the car all along and just wanted to brag about it? Because you really didn't need the pretext, lol.

It's a parody of the most epic ATG thread ever, and it delivered.

Just came back from the tint shop. Noticed that my tinter made it the car of the week and posted this pic onto his facebook page:
