For average middle class (70-120k), is purchasing or paying monthly hard on the wallet? Just a curious question.

Not hard at all.

What is hard is finding enough left over to get the new CLK430 I want to replace my Acura Legend.

Seriously, whether you can afford it depends on your spending habits. Personally I would not have bought it if I didn't have the extra money laying around each month after putting some back for later in life, some for retirement and some for a rainy day. Toys come last. Well, not last...I am single after all.

Aus, in our part of the country (SF Bay Area) where fixer uppper homes go for 300K + and there is a waiting list for them 70-120K barely gets you by.

mrkim, i hope you can swing it...you will not regret it one bit. I still smile after a year and a half of owning one. Have you driven one yet?

Hey Aus, I'll take PayPal if CASH is a problem

I say get the car unless your debt load is already really high. I must admit I saved like hell and paid it off when I bought it, but it was worth every penny!...and yes, I fit your description of "middle class".

by the way, MrKim, did you ever get someone to take you for a ride in their S2000? I remember you asking about it a few months back...
