FYI, C/D's review of the 2017 IS350 F Sport:

2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport RWD

This IS is the one to get.

 

And an actual death wish, if looking at the RS.

That said, just drive the wheels off of the ILX until it's financially practical to upgrade to what you really want.

 

Focus RS can be had under sticker nowadays too if you want something with warranty. Focus needs a warranty btw.

 

You modded the 2.0? Should have got that 2.4 at the first place....

Meet the 2018 Accord that I suggested. Came quicker than expected.

Nobody wants that Malibu/Altima looking thing.

 

 

I'd be more concerned about you making $9/hr, instead of what nice car you can buy. Shiiiet, nice cars aren't going anywhere, anytime soon, but how the fuck aren't you making more? You can work as a laborer for a construction company and likely get double that. Lots of options that require little to no investment on your part.

 

Are you saying it's not smart to spend 2 years wages on a car?

 

Isn't this the American way? Of course the Canuckistanian wouldn't understand...

 

The 2.0 ILX is/was the biggest sham ever. Lets just revel in the fact that he paid $32k for an economy car with 150 horsepower and leather seats. I cringe thinking of the endlessly better vehicles that could be had for that $32k. Well, you live and you learn.

 

Well, breaking it down...

​​​​​​$9/hr x 40hr/week x 52 week/year = $18,720, before taxes.

Not sure what taxes are where Jon resides, but to me, that looks like almost 3 years of wages, and that's assuming all his money goes towards the car, and zero living expenses whatsoever.

Yeah, I would say that's a terrible idea.

 

You're not factoring in the ILX trade.. 6k for the ride.. 6k for the wheels.

 

He still owes on that ILX... so he's not gaining anything besides additional debt on top of the ILX.

 

Cali tax

 

He's essentially buying a 40k car, for 50+k. Not sure what he owes but I assume it's over 10k on the ILX. Shiiiiet. Good luck Making that work for you at any point over the next at least 5 years.

 

If I spent like Jon, I'd be looking at a used McLaren right now. And yet, I find it hard to justify not dailying an 11 year old TL

 

Good call.. suck dick for cash?

 

It pays loads, I hear

 

Call him, gettin' laid tonight.
Swisha rolled tight, get sprayed by Ike.
He needs to hit the highway, make money the fly way.
But there's got to be a better way.
A better way, better way, yeah.

 

break these boys off I'm a 13 inch caller
big baller smashin spendin my ends
smoke my big killa on their knees in the benzcaddy

 

Troy wasn't built in a day, boys.

 

I honestly believe High schools HAVE to start teaching personal finance.
sad situation if he does go through with a purchase of a vehicle he cant afford

 

What about Lil' Troy?

 

The smaller Troy was built in one day, I believe. 24 hours exactly.

 

Which is pretty much the boat I have come to realize I sit in and I am trying to get out of as soon as possible.

Thanks for the advice gents. Most of it was appreciated.

 

"leather" seats

 

Smart move, mang.

 

I think the first order of business would be to stop using premium fuel and start putting those saving in the down payment bank.

 

bruh.. authentic gas tho rite?

 

We tried to tell you since the beginning that it was nothing more than a glorified Civic. But no, you wouldn't have it. We were just a bunch of hatters who didn't know what we were talking about.

 

like get that 87 tier 10 esso espressu bosu

 

1. You can still be a bunch of haters.
2. From day 1 I said it was a civic in a tux.
3. I am going to go get some sexy ass shrimp tacos.

 

tres piece and tested por favor

 

lol...you know vossen is tres piece and tested now right?

I had to.

I HAD TO!

 

Vossen x Work
They had seks ese..

 

LOL...
OMG NOOOOOOOO!

Nobody wants to picture their boo with an ex!

 

My only current grievance with Vossen is they are, imo, over priced and over hyped.

As for testing all I'll say is there is a difference between material testing and literal crash testing.

 

You mods are kind of assholes.

 

The ones with lips verse concave faces look pretty good but I still have yet to see anyone on them outside of the promo shoot which I honestly find hilarious. Most Work fan boys werent a fan of the vossen collaboration. And frankly most Vossen fan boys are the type to say Work wheels are too expensive and not worth it so frankly both companies created a child no one wanted or wanted but couldnt afford.

 

What kind?
