Update: Yet another one Drooling and wanting a Porsche

[elgeebeekei10]

Well a year and 3 months have passed and , I still have the Porsche bug am looking into getting a 2005 above model Boxter S. If I get my goal of paying off all my credit cards to zero by Nov of 2012, I will be used to paying $1,000 a month that will be enough for a nice certified one including insurance right? am keeping my fingers crossed and am looking forward to the members of this forum to get me on the right track. Peace and God Speed!!!

I can truly appreciate the Porsche bug, but I am give only one piece of advice. If you are use to paying $1,000 a month to the Credit Card Companies, chances are other saving methods have suffered. Please make sure you have other savings accounts built up before buying a Porsche. The worst thing that could happen is, you buy one, and a MAJOR repair comes up and you need to rely on the Credit Cards again. Could you finances sustain a $10,000+ repair without relying on Credit Cards?

It is a vicious cycle that has destroyed many people.

Very Well Said , that is why I am opting for a Certified Vehicle if it does make sense , anyway Porsche cars are for elitists like you which I guess am not one of them.

First, I never said I was an elitist.

Second, anyone can own a Porsche, especially with the depreciated values. I have personally seen people go further in debt even after owning a Nissan that broke prematurely to having their savings rebuilt.

Third, I wish you the best in your shopping for a Porsche. If you do your homework and are fully prepared, it will be a rewarding experience, even coming from a non-elitist. As many will tell you on this forum, if you are not prepared, it will be a miserable experience.

Did I miss something in tnoice's response that was "elitist"?

[Roosell]

I missed it too. All I see is solid advice on how to prepare for ownership. I assumed the OP was asking for that sort of thing.

I got similar advice before making the plunge, and it proved to be very useful for me. I am glad I had the cash in the bank when my repair bills hit.

[elgeebeekei10]

thanks for the advice, and sorry for the confusion it has caused. As of the elitist remark it just sounded as if the comment was you'll never can afford a porsche bec you cannot afford to pay a 10,000 bill to fix your porche.

So now you are a true elitist and went all the way into the deep end! Post a pic or two, I want to see how the better half lives (snerk: insert sarcasim font for fun)

Seriously would love to see your new toy!

[BruceH]

So you beat your goal of paying every thing off by a month! Congrats and yes I am jealous - a 2013! I guess you don't have to worry about repairs for a while. Would love to see pics as well. Where in Texas?

[Deserion]

As the old saying goes, this thread is worthless without pics.
