There is no good reason to buy a car that's over $100K with cash. The cost of money is so so low these days that you're better off investing the money, leasing the car and write it off as a business expense! But hey, if you paid cash and just don't care then more power to you!! My $.02..

haha this just came up on the new HBO show Entourage tonight. quote from the show when the guy is about to buy an RR Phantom:
"you don't buy this car, you lease it. that's how all the broke retards in this town (LA) drive 911's"

Leasing a $100K plus car and writing it off is too risky for me...no need to get greedy...
