Defiitely a G.

 

Unless you have a trust, you a F*cking idiot.

 

Bulgari,

First off, I see you live in IL. I also live in IL so if I had to pick a car off your list I would go with the Gallardo because:
1. it is AWD. We get alot of cold weather, rain, sleet, snow, etc. (It would make a better DD than a 360)
2. Being that the "newer" Lamborghini's are in part Audi's, you know the car will be more reliable for daily commuting.
3. When you make more money down the road you can send it to UR to get it TT'd!!!

Now with that being said, I think you should also consider a 2007-2009 Porsche 911 Turbo or a 2008-2009 Audi R8 4.2 V8. These cars would make a better DD in my opinion because:
1. They both are more comfortable than a G or 360
2. With the economy the way it is these cars can be had for 100k or less and would allow you to pay the car completely off, have money for insurance, maintenance, etc. and even put some of what's left into paying off your school debt or starting a 401k, Roth IRA, etc.
3. When you make more money down the road you can easily mod either one of them!!!

I understand where you are coming from, I also have a passion for cars, but along with passion you must also be sensible and responsible. We can only judge you by what you tell us in your post and we really don't know the full scope of your finances. Just don't make a rush decision. Time is on your side.

That's my 2 cents! Good Luck with what you choose and be sure to update all of us as to what you purchased. Maybe I can even get a ride.

 

Cabman,

U wouldn't be interested in posting or PM the name of that company, would you?

 

Advice to all. If you can't stroke a check you have no business buying.

 

This is great, you went $250k in the hole, kept $160k in the bank, and had enough money in investments to make up for this debt.

That's like having a paid for $500,000 home and taking a mortgage out on it to put it in the bank.

PS: I wouldn't even waste my time on a Porsche. If you're going to get an exotic, do it right. You could get a 911 Carrera, debadge it, and 99% of the population wouldn't know it from a GT2. People buy exotics for status, and partially for performance. But I'm going to lean towards the former. It's kind of fun to be ignorant in a $100k car.

 

Hey it's your money, want to be financially successful; LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS

 

....

 

Me too please...!!!

 

Hey i say just buy a gallardo and do whatever it takes to survive and pay it off=)

 

Thanks to all who have replied -

I am waiting (hopefully no more than 1-2 months) to get everything resolved and then splurging my saved income on a car. I figured (with your guy's help) to wait until everything is under control as to not cause any issues whatsoever and make this once-in-a-lifetime purchase more enjoyable and stress free.

 

for a dd? the answer is the GTR all day long

 

seriously, is your job a porsche test driver???

none of us even know how a 991 looks like and you've test driven it???

the truth is, you probably can't even afford an oil change on the G after you spend your life savings on it, and still trying to pay off a 250k debt

 

One must spend to learn how to earn! Get Gallardo... I would wait a couple years for everything to really settle before I purchase anything that isn't an asset if I have 250k in debt. And think for your boss too. Jealousy is a dangerous thing.

Enjoy your life and congrats on moving towards the top of the pyramid.

 

Referencing the article, why in God's name is a spark plug change $4000+ on those cars? And who changes spark plugs anyway? I thought most plugs now needed to be changed at 60K miles, and no one put that's many miles on an exotic anyway?
