re: Audi A6 for wife

These are basic tenants of living within your means.

Rule 1: Buy a house no more expensive than 3x your household income.

Rule 2: Buy a vehicle no more expensive than 1/3 your individual income.
--- Rule 2a: If you are a one income household, both vehicles should equal 1/3 of household income.
--- Rule 3a: If you let your wife drive the more expensive car, you drive the beater.

Rule 3: The end goal of fiscal responsibility is to not have any bills at all.


A bare bones A6 is $48k. And fully loaded is $60k. *Not including TTL.
So, you better have a household income of at least $150-180k AND have the other vehicle paid off.

There really is NO point in buying a car to show off that you have money..... if you don't, in fact, have the money.
And for God's Sake, Please do not lease a car Ever again.

You said the M series was the pinnacle of German cars earlier. Page 2

It is.

I'd rather have an M3 than a 911. 911s are for women.

You're a moron

Let me guess you think BMW is the ultimate German car in a country dominated by AMG Mercedes and Porsche.

Good lord

No DanielI have actually owned one of (several in fact) of each.

Of those 3, for total sensory overload behind the wheel, give me the Porsche.

I'm not the one defending the worst German automaker.

I'm talking about commonly available vehicles. I'm so glad you blew a dude in a Mercedes once. I'm sure that '92 300 E was the nicest thing you'll ever be in.
