am i the only one that gets the "Cold Feet" when buying a new car?
for example, i hesitated and thought and thought for weeks about a year ago before i decided to buy the 2008 Nissan 350Z. and now i've got a golden opportunity to but a Lotus, but i cant seem to pull the trigger.
I can afford it, but a $15,000 downpayment and a $700 a month payment are huge chunks of money. One minute i am all fired up about buying, and then when i wake up in the morning the doubts are back.
when i say i can afford it thats true. but if all of a sudden i have a bunch of unexpected bills i'd either have to totally deplete my checking account, or tap into my Home Equity Line Of Credit. when i say unexpected bills i am talking about, perhaps, such things as dental bills, or the engine/transmission goes on my '97 DD Hyundai Tiburon with 128,000 miles.
but i'm single, no kids, no mortgage, pretty good secure job. i dont think affording it is the issue. the issue is whether i want to spend that much money for a car. one minute its Yes, Lets Do It and the next minute its Wait, Dont Do That......
