I pay $1600/mo for my 911.

I ended up financing $100k and putting down like $15k

I've only put 14,500 miles on it in 3 years though 😭😭😭

Thanks all!

Porsche is good if you also have a 2nd car.
But if this is going to be your sole vehicle, M3 all day.

Is this your only car? If you have a separate daily, get a 911 or an r8.

If this is your only car, do an m8 or an rs7.

Obviously you do you, but this isn’t really the best time to finance a 100k+ car. Interest rates are still crazy high.

Yes will be my only car.

Eh - Interest rates are not coming down any time soon and it isn’t compound interest, not really going to sway my decision.

Porsche. They are made to be driven. Buy one, drive it every day and enjoy it.

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything. But I'll start a new job in 2 weeks where I'll be under taxable bracket. So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)
