Buy? or Don't Buy?

[RITUJA SINGH]

Dear respected members of BHW.
i need your help here, i am confused.

Back in a day when i was poor and had no money i always dreamed about luxurious cars like Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Volvo etc.

Now when i can afford such cars it feels like waste of money to me. sometimes i wanna buy it so bad then thought of losing money stops me buying them.

Right now i am driving a 1.4 Litre Hyundai i20 which i bought as a second hand car.

Make year is 2013.
so what should i do?

Eagerly waiting for your answers.

You will enjoy a new car for months or two and you will get bored soon, the excitement will be gone.

That's a good advice thank you @Rymka

If you like it and you've got the money just buy. You can always sell when you're tired of it.
Moreover, It makes the ladies want to holla.

you cant take your money to the grave. enjoy it.

doesnt necessarily mean you should spend it only on materialistic things but you should defo spend it on things that make you happy.

one of the worst things you can be in this life is a miser.

Depends on your financial situation and how much you want it really, Mercedes, Audi and BMW are probably one of the best cars you will ever drive, it definitely change the driving experience and alone that is worth the money. Personally i don't invest in cars but plan on buying 1 later, and it have to be a Mercedes, amazing car

they all are nice and it's impossible to compare. i wish i could buy each one of them if i was a multimillionaire. i wish you good luck for Mercedes. Cla is best.

You could always lease if that is an option where you live?

That way you are not breaking the bank and can enjoy a new car every few years.

I would personally only recommend buying a car if you intend to change anything on it (Tuning, Engine, Exhaust, etc) because of the limitations with leasing.

Other than that Leasing would probably be the best option tbh.

You could probably even turn in that Hyundai as well so that you are paying less for the new car, but you might not get that much for it.

Cars are like Bodybuilding.

You think it will get you more girls but it's only cool to other dudes.

Unless it's a Ferrari or a Porche ain't no woman gonna care.

It depends. If the only money you have saved will be used in buying that new car, then don't buy it. If you will still have a good amount of money left after buying it, then go for it.

Attachment to things is the most stupid thing you can do with your life.
A car is meant to drive you here and there.
If you have an inferiority complex, better pay a psychologist.

My personal opinion in everything related to vehicle you have to ask yourself how much you really use it?

Ask yourself the following questions...

• Do you drive your vehicle at least 40 times a month?
• How long does it take for each drive/trip?
• Whether your current vehicle is comfortable for driving?
• Are you looking for thrills in driving?
• Are you interested in saving the money of gas or it does not matter to you how much it costs and what the price of fuel

The latest advice, a fun car to drive usually needs more fuel .... so if you're not willing to pay more for maintenance and fuel just stick the Mercedes logo instead of the existing logo in your vehicle.

leasing is not available here.

Hey cars are depreciating assets. But spend wisely. Yes get yourself a new car. But don't get it to just feed your ego.

 

[RITUJA SINGH]

no bro this is not the only money i have saved of course i am not an idiot to do that. when i said i can afford it i can actually buy it.

Everyone knows that buying a luxury car is a stupid investment, but if it makes you happy just go for it.
Only thing I would consider is your financial situation, my view on buying anything is like this
Small purchases - Do I make that much per day? Yes - Go for it. No - Grind more.
Larger purchases - Do I make that much per month/two months? Yes - Go for it. No - you know what to do..

Also make sure to consider other things like maintenance costs, as well as insurance which can be 10-20% cost of the car PER YEAR and even more depending on the country and the insurance type you are getting. A good thing to consider when getting insurance is the neighbourhood you live in, and the chances that your car might be robbed

you mean to say millions of people who own such car got inferiority complex. you are very narrow minded and probably you should step up your game or go see the doctor.
