Man, finally someone with a gob of sense!! I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet. How about you SAVE your money over the next few years until you turn 22-23 so you can buy a house/condo and MOVE OUT! Trust me it will be really satisfying walking into the builders office, telling them you want to build a new house and tell them you'll cut them a cheque for the full amount $500,000+ whatever it may be at 22-23. Plus the most obvious fact, the house will be an appreciating asset for you and you'll be MORTGAGE FREE in the young 20's! Not sure if most of the people in this thread really understand how liberating that is. You're still young and have plenty of time to blow money on nice cars, you could be setting yourself up for a really relaxing future in the next few years.

i ended up in the specialized market of 'construction loans / project monitoring' . it pays well because its hard to find quantity surveyors in canada that are in the banking side. i am pursuing a MSc rite now though.
.
i was making 50, underpaid until i was approached by a competitor.. then i negotiated a monsterous raise with my current company.
.
i am a bit lucky in that sense.

I was you 4 yrs ago:
20
Somewhat of a poker phenom back then despite just playing part-time
Lived w/ parents
University student
Great relation w/ parents
Single
9 yr old car
Smart thing would be to save &/or invest but you're 1 of the young kids who deserve it. You work hard, you're smart & responsible (thinking about it instead of impulsively buying like most young rich kids).

Well, it sounds like you've been making some pretty smart moves so far... Keep the trend going...
Unless you can find a significant (and legal) fiscal/tax advantage - avoid leasing... It's throwing your money away.
The smart thing to do is to take your time, shop around, and try to pick up a later G35... You'll learn more about the marque in the process, save at least $10-15K, and likely wind up with something sweet that's even still on warranty for another coupla years. The appearance differences between the G37 and G35 are fairly subtle and typically overlooked by most of the public... Think it through...
