    There is this guy in my country who has a really common construction job and spends almost literally any penny he owns on his cars. Dude has owned a nearly endless list of exotic cars and currently drives a Lamborghini Murchielago. The guy really should have his own TH-cam channel, but he does occasionally pop up in car vlogs and magazines.

    This is really good advice. My '18 Acura NSX is pictured left. I've spent nothing on this car in my 1 1/2 years of ownership beyond the monthly payments, gas, and I do the maintenance myself which is a few hundred dollars.......That's exactly the way I planned it. I bought it brand new, with a warranty that I haven't had to use, and with Honda reliability, I'm pretty sure she'll be problem free for many years. As for depreciation, that only matters if you plan on selling the vehicle........I don't sweat depreciation. BTW traded in my Gen V Viper GTS for this....made $29K..on that....

    @kirkpatrickdavid 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Wise words - this is pretty much the exact considerations I had before I bought my LP560. With regards to maintenance costs, try to find a car that’s had major necessary work done recently. In the case of my Gallardo, I found one that had a new clutch installed (one of the inevitable big expenses with these cars). It doesn’t add much to the sale price, but is worth hunting out in order to avoid paying the extortionate cost further down the line.

    I expected not to like this video, as i am more of a Dave Ramsey person, but I was pleasantly surprised.The key, from ed, is avoiding that loss of principle which is done by buying used. I think ramsey would approve.
    I do not like the concept of financing a car. I have financed one car in my entire life and hated it so much that have never done it again. I have also had what most people would consider exotics my whole life. In my 20's I had a Porsche, a Ferrari and a Lotus at various times, and I had no real money. Each one was purchased "With needs" and after it was fixed and I had enjoyed it a while it was moved on for the next one. The Porsche replaced a Duetto, the Ferrari replaced a Fiat Dino (Which surprisingly the Fiat Dino is worth much more than a 308 now) and the Ferrari was replaced by a Lotus. Each had a car that financed it's purchase. I don't know how easy this would be to replicate as this was during the 80's and cars were simpler, but i do know that putting a clutch in a gallardo is not rocket science, and you can buy a Gallardo that needs a clutch for a lot less.
    Ultimately what I got from this video is that you can play with exotics without going broke and if you are somewhat smart about it you may not make money but you can turn it into a zero sum game.

    Ed, just wanted to let you know that I used your 'used vehicle buying tips' when I bought my daily driver 2018 Titan XD last month. Contrary to your belief, your advice IS applicable to non-exotic cars. I feel I managed a shrewd negotiation and bought the truck for $4K under asking, which may not seem like much, but it frees up that money for any equipment or aftermarket parts I want on it. Thanks for the great content and confidence to get what I want without getting worked over at a dealership!!!

Everyone sees a car like a status symbol and no more than that. To me, is the motivation of moving forward, the reason why I don't give up, the strength of belief and the ambition to succeed. You can't tell me to spend no more than 10% on a car because otherwise is iresponsabile
