<prompt> Human: Currently I drive a 2010 Honda Civic in which I owe a little under 8000 on my loan. I make 55k a year have no student loans, rent is 800month. Im looking into getting a 2008 Infiniti G35 for about 15,500. My commute is 17 miles one way so its not too far. Im putting 10 of my paycheck into my 401k and my weekly paychecks are about 660. Am I making a unwise decision by getting the Infiniti? If Im not what would be the most cost effective method of owning the car?  <response>: Am I making a unwise decision by getting the Infiniti?Financially, yes. You would trade in a perfectly good 4 year old car, for something more expensive. Pay off your Civic, and drive it until its no longer worth maintaining it.
