That's a rather presumptuous comment, no?

Not really. I guarantee you that 99.999% of people with a high school diploma only could not afford this. You need to be making 7 figures per year (at the very least) to be able to afford this.

Perhaps presumptuous wasn't the best word choice.

And 7 figures a year is a lot more than is really necessary to afford a car like this. What's the average that most people spend as a percentage of their gross income? 10%? Somewhere around there at least. Assume you could pick one up for $268k, with $50k down that's ~$4,000/mo at a reasonable interest rate. That would require ~$40k/mo gross, and that's ~$500k/year.

New Aston Martins start at about $115k. A used 2003 may go for less (though probably not much less).

ive been highly debating wether or not I should get a 2006 bmw m5 or wait for the 2007.....

Or just get a 330ci and use the rest of my money on a decent fishing boat...

aston martins are usually "gas station to gas station" cars... main reason Im thinking of not getting an m5

if you're worried about gas, you shouldn't be buying an exotic car in the first place
