Beyond the finances, look at what the vehicle is and does. I personally daily a higher end lux coupe. It's great, but useless at Home Depot, etc. Bear that in mind if you are planning on a house, or any tiny humans, etc. for the next few years.

Also, in some places, it's poor form to upstage the boss's car.

Thanks for the advice. The car id be getting would be a sedan but I pretty much use my gfs crossover for chores, etc.

I do agree on your second comment and that has worried me a bit. I do live less than a mile away from work so I was thinking about just walking/biking to get the exercise and just hide the fact that I bought a nice car from my coworkers.

Wait so if you use your GFs car for chores and you can bike to work then why do you need a new luxury car? (Genuinely curious)

I should have included this but cars are pretty much my only hobby. I sold my old car during the pandemic and have regretted it. Wanted to get back into something fun again.

Ah ok. As a non-car person, buying a car worth a year of your take home income sounds bonkers. Seems like an expensive hobby haha. Have you factored in the new insurance premiums too?
