Thanks guys. Immense help.
Palmer, to answer your question:
<---- 26 y/o, about to get engaged (done saving up for the ring, that sucked). Stable job with about 60k/year and joys of living in San Francisco ($1000 rent per person). Taking all that under consideration I'm thinking that G35 will be quite feasable. However I never had any debt in my life and would hate to get into one.
The reason I'm so hesitant is because I might go back to school in a year or so. Even though I'll be still working, I wouldn't be getting as much.
Plus Legacy in GT trim is a great car. Screams to be boosted, but this is a feeling I'm used to after owning KA powered 240
I will keep you updated.
