New Boxster base you say? about $160k. My next DD will likely be a Tesla... 460hp for about the same price as the VW because there is no car tax on electric cars here yet. And I can charge it for free just down the road and get everywhere I need to go with free chargers along the way while justfying a couple gas guzzling P-cars. But I digress.
That is crazy. So what's the average income for a college graduate working for say at least 10 years? Do they go into debt for the next 20 years to pay off that $100K Passat wagon?
