my buddy thought i was rich (either that or a drug dealer) for buying this car! he drives a honda odessy fully loaded and has 1 kid. i asked how much he pays and he said 470/mo.
i asked him to tell me how much he thought i payed and he said over 600 bux!!!!! i said i payed 380 and he was stoked.
it all depends on your situation. someone with kids and a mortgage see's me and thinks...WOW. how the phuk. however, i rent in a loft downtown, put all my dough in a 401k and stock trades while my only responsibility in life right now are my two babies -G and Stormer (range rover sport).
LOL this is one hell of a late reply, but I guess it depends on your definition of "affordability." Just because you meet the credit requirements needed to qualify for a loan to buy the G37 doesn't mean that you can afford it. There are people floating around here who put virtually nothing down and pay an obscene amount of money per month with a double digit interest rate, and I ask myself why on earth would you do something like that. People who buy things they can't afford are part of the many reasons why our economy is in this slump.
For those people who fit the description I gave, no offense, just my two cents.
Damn, and it's crazy how much this forum has grown. I was just looking at my first post on this thread...I'm number 22!! and we're on the 400's now...
