Yeah, $1000/month doesn't mean much without a time period. A buddy borrowed $22k, 4% for 5 years I think, and his payments are just below $400/mo. So same terms, scaled up for $1000/mo would let you borrow $55k, though getting 4% might be difficult on that large a loan. Say $44k and $200/mo for insurance.You planning on a divorce to feed your vehicular habit?

I don't know I drove my best friends 911 in Miami and it was ok they are too pricey for options. I love the ride but the price was a lil to much for that car.

oops you meant the new one I LIKE THAT ONE ummm. Still would love a AWD nissan.

I would go for a 2001ish M5.

Actually, I was mostly just posting to say that your Altima is amazing. Seriously, the first time I saw your sig I was awe-stricken.

We have a 2003 M5 in our show room right now with only 16k miles on it for 64k. But if you want new the 3 liter Z4's go for a little under 50k and they are bad as hell. The power on the 3 liter's are so smooth up through the rpms that it will make you shiver.
