Well, my current car (Lexus LS400, ZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz) costs me about $400/month. So I would only be able to pocket about $450/month.
Neverthemess, saving up $450/month would also be a good way to save up for a bigger downpayment on the 987, but I have other things I'd like to be saving money for. (Perhaps an entrapment ring, oops I mean engagement.)
My current vehicle is also depreciating, but not very fast.
