I just got a job offer for around 360K TC. I have about 160K cash, 500k stock, 100k in 401k. I grew up poor, and I’ve never made a big purchase in my life and considering buying a Porsche 718, C43AMG, or Corvette C8. Genuine question - does it make sense or can I afford to buy 60-70K car? (M, 30)

Obviously you can afford it.

It never “makes sense” from a FIRE perspective to drive anything other than a $500 beater until it breaks since cars are depreciating assets. Treat this as an expense not an asset; do YOU want it enough to take the hit?

Also D1, can you elaborate? Genuinely curious.

if all of your other expenses are covered and you have plenty left over, go for it and treat yourself.

They definitely do not over a C8 or 718.

Sure enjoy your life. But I would personally buy a car that will hold value, like a Lexus GSF, it’s a Japanese muscle car that is relatively cheap to maintain compared to the rivals and they stopped production so it will retain its value

You can do it, you're ahead of where I was back when I turned 30 and I did it without regrets. The harder issue is getting allocations for some of these cars you listed. You will not find any C8 for $70k and 718s at that price will probably be only used cars; not many allocations for the 4cyl variants when the factory would rather pump out $100k+ GTS and GT4/Spyders. Forget Lexus suggestions; I've had a RC and it's just more of the same luxury yacht blandness. Nothing can substitute a proper sports car.

You’re totally right. It’s tough to find inventory right now. What type of car do you have or have owned?

I have 90k car in a 120 salary (wife also is at 200)

It’s still less than 15% of our net take home for both cars + insurance and gas

Go for it! Congrats.

Everyone has their splurges. Do whatever you want!

And what role/company are you moving too?

Can I ask what your career path was to get to where you’re at?

FANG, MBA, Consulting, and now industry potentially
