Monthly commitment to cars - comfort level

[PSB1]

I absolutely concede that there not parity in age btw the R8 and GTS.

It's only the blue that would draw me to that particular GTS - there are some evil looking used options where somebody's taken the initial pain (wouldn't necessarily go for Agate - or 1 without paddles - but you get the point):

but its brand new

The R8 has already shed £30k

They may hold well ... but someone's still got to take a hit

Link doesn't work from TT. Must be used, haven't been any new ones since last year.

Agreed, R8 is going to ship less but that's a much older car in the grand scheme of things. Though I prefer it to the new one.

It's been on for a while. Maybe they'll take 80. It's nearly two years old for christ's sake!

£85k maybe ... not £80k

I know, I know. But they must be starting to feel a little antsy.

its 16 months old !

buy Benjy's ... you will lose MAXIMUM £5k in a year and 10k miles ... its mint, Audi Warranty, Ceramics, £4k Capristo, Michelin tyres ... AND new enough to finance with a balloon

no brainer IMO

Back to the topic....

After all outgoings; mortgage, car, bills, unnecessary stuff like food i like to have minimum 1k left for spends or save, depending on how im feeling that month.

Anything less and I dont feel like work is worthwhile!
