<prompt> Human: Hey all, Well time has come for me to get another car. I am all over the place here. One side of me says to get something cheap and beat the living hell out of it, then sell it for relatively near the price what I paid. The other side of me says I have enough income to have a fun car and the one Im looking at should hold value Im not looking at an investment, so save me the I could be earning 3 blah blah blah.I work about 50 or so hours a week and tax time 60-70. Would be nice to have a toy.Nonetheless, a quick run down of my finances:Live in DMV area, have garage parking at work but not at home. Planning to keep this car for a long while, but would be nice to be able to sell it with positive equity if it came to it.Earn 88,000year small bonuses here and there maybe 3k?. I pay state taxes 8 as well.Assets: About 5,000 cash, 20,000 retirement, and 20,000 investments.Fixed Expenses: Housing 1,100, SLoan 50, Food 500. No other fixed items, all else variable.I contribute max to Roth IRA and my company does not do a match into 401, so I put a couple hundred bucks in a month as they still do a profit sharing deposit.Im looking at the following again, all ranges haha:2003 Acura CL-S 6 Speed - 6,000 with 100k on it. Had one before and it treated me excellent. Sold it for more then what I paid, had minimal repairs. Would pay in cash.2011 BMW 335I 6 Speed - 30,000 with warranty to 100k. Car has 50,000 on it. Would finance 100 1.992001 Acura NSX - 45,000. Obviously no warranty. See no reason for this car to ever depreciate I could be wrong Would finance 100 1.99The NSX would hit my budget for 775month over 60 months, and another 125 for insurance. So all in 900. Any reason I couldnt do this on my budget?Only other goals are to travel internationally a bit and Id like to purchase a home within the next five years as well.  <response>: The NSX would hit my budget for 775month over 60 months, and another 125 for insurance.

Any reason I couldnt do this on my budget?Yes, because: other goals are to travel internationally a bit and Id like to purchase a home within the next five years as well.You didnt mention your age or how long youve been working but your reitrement assets seem low for your income and how expensive of cars youre looking at...And just because your budget items are variable doesnt mean that they dont need to be paid. How much do you generally have left over at the end of the year?
