<prompt> Human: Im looking into buying a new Golf GTI and wanted a second opinion before making up my mind. To give some context, I plan on driving this car into the ground. If Im going to own it for a long time, Id like to have all the modern safety features and modern tech like CarPlay. These all come standard in the 2016 and newer models. I wanted to buy one year used to save on depreciation, but after negotiating at multiple dealerships I can buy new for about the same price as buying used 1-2k difference max. In terms of my personal finance, Im a recent college grad making just over 100kyear, plus 45k in bonuses and equity. I dont have any student loans and currently have 80k sitting in my savings account. Im maxing out my 401k and IRA this year, and am setting up an index fund with Vanguard. Living expenses are high since Im in the Bay Area, but I dont waste much money on eating out, bars, shopping, etc. Does this sound reasonable? I dont have credit history yet so Id just pay cash.  <response>: making just over 100kyear I dont have any student loans and currently have 80k sitting in my savings account.
