    Buying a car dilemma..

    Now, I'm not the wealthiest motherfucker around, and I have a dilemma about buying a car. I want one, I don't necessarily need one. I will buy one anyways.. BUT my problem is the money.

    I will be using my money on a project of mine, but should I use more on the project and buy a cheaper car, or buy a bmw and spend little on my project.

    My dilemma goes further, I will be leaving finland in a few years.. if I buy a new bmw the value will be 50% less of what it is now when I leave. So, if I buy a cheaper car I will spend less on it now, and when I sell it.. well, I lose less money than with an expensive car.

    Lol.

        I will. I know myself, my college continues on monday... and I will never make it unless I have a car. I fucking hate public transportation. I bet you've never stood in -30 celcius weather waiting for a bus for 30 minutes.. it ain't nice.
        ..and I'm off.

                  A car is just a luxury product, that you will lose money on. If you have to think so hard a bout it, and will spend less on your business if you buy the BMW, I don't think it will be a wise decision to buy an expensive car.

                  Use the money to build your business, and in a few years you will probably make enough to buy a great car without having to worry about spending the money.

                  Buying a car is a great way to get rid of a lot of money very quickly ;-)

                                    TGF, how much costs the CHEAPEST new car there? I'm talking about the really "naked" cars.

                                      Buy a USED BMW , that why you get the car you like and pay less
                                      for it.

                                      OR just buy a cheap car to get you from point A to point B.


                                      I have 5 cars. I bought 2 and leased 3 .
                                      When you lease a car you only owe for the time you have your car. maybe that will work.

                                        I would go for the "cheap car" and invest my money on the project. You don't need a BMW right now, you can buy one later where you will move in a few years. Probably it will be cheaper there as well.

                                          Cheapest new car is 13k euros That's a 0.9 liter Toyota Yaris. i think you can get a new lada for 10k but I'm not sure where they sell those.

                                              I'm 21 and I don't even know to fucking drive. I didn't pass the vision test (wearing my glasses) weeks ago.

                                                    Cheapest new car is 13k euros That's a 0.9 liter Toyota Yaris. i think you can get a new lada for 10k but I'm not sure where they sell those.
                                                    I have no idea how this car is, but damn, that's expensive.
                                                    Well, probably you don't have in Finland the very very basic cars as we do here (US$5000 to $6000).

                                                    Can't you use that car you gave to your girlfriend? Heheheh

                                                      I'm leaning towards buying a small european car. 2 door hatchback. Dunno which brand nor what age. 1.0 to 1.4 liter one. I only drive to college and back.. 15 minutes per direction. I don't think I need a 325 bmw for it.
                                                      ..and I'm off.
