In order to answer your question, I have to first ask - since you do not have any loans does this mean you own the house that you live in, have some savings and have investments that bring additional income other than your job? Do you use credit cards - that's owing money as well.I really really really really hate to sound like a jerk but with the recession yet to really hit us, are you sure you want Skyline especially at this point in life? I'm about your age as well, not married thank God but lately I've been thinking of selling my car because it's not the best move financially to own one - maintenance can be substantial and if something breaks well, there goes your savings. Put it this way, your road tax and insurance per year, assuming 0% NCB since you said its your first car will probably equal a months salary. What about installments - or would you pay cash (also not smart cause now cash is best to hold onto).Again, I apologize to you if I've offended in anyway and to the rest of the guys on these forums. I'm not preaching nor patronizing - God knows most of you have been walking this earth longer than I have. Just lately I've been thinking of the economic downturn and how most people are not prepared for what is yet to come and I keep asking myself why the hell aren't I driving a Suzuki Swift or something cheaper to maintain. Guess all I see is dollars and cents (but apparently not sense <img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/banghead.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":banghead:" title="Banghead    :banghead:" data-shortname=":banghead:" />)So bro, to answer your question - if I were you - I'd wait awhile and put the car purchase on hold for the moment.</blockquote>
