I think you have a pragmatic approach. Stay away from bad debt and if you can use cash. Debt itself is not a bad thing to have if you use it properly. Debt on a car is never considered good debt unless your are taking out an interest only loan on something like a Ferrari F50 which is only going to go up in value, like a house in a good area. Everything else isn't a great idea unless you have spare funds and absolutely have to have that car...and even then you should think about it.I love your "analysis" (if you will).
We're saving up to trade my wife's ecoboost in on a GT since it's going to stay her daily, then we're either going to save up for me to buy a dedicated track car, or save up to trade my GT + cash for a 350.
No more car loans for me. I'm done with that shit.
But I just can't stay away from cars. So...I'll just wait until I can pay cash. Maybe in a year or so the 350s will have come down even more.
I am merely pointing out that most people don't operate that way, and debt is too easy to get so people get it, and then shit eventually goes wrong. Especially when the global economy starts to fall and people start losing jobs.
I like your approach! Keep it in mind as you move forward!
