Along the same lines as getting into a CTS-V, why not consider a Chevy SS?

It's on the first page.. Is minimum wage more / less there? Are you disputing a dollar here or there?
Because if you are, I'm not trying to fight you on that.

OP - If I were you I would really stick it to Majofo by buying a vehicle that could smoke his V. You'll want to purchase a car pushing over 600+ horsepower.

Seems like a bit of confusion here.... as in a game of "telephone."

OP posted in another thread (see link below): "Today [7/9/2017] I got off work after making minimum wage for 9 hours," not that he makes $9/hour ....

It's either $10.50 (25 or less employees) or $12.00 (26 or more employees) as of July 1, 2017 if he works in L.A. County. Otherwise Cali minimum is $10.50

It was either $10.50 (26+ employees) or $10.00 (< 25 employees) prior to July 1st.

If he gets good tips like he says he does ($100 per week? $150 per week?), then he's making roughly

($10.50 x 40) + $150 in tips = $570/week x 52 weeks = $29,640/yr

or

($12 x 40 hrs) + $150 in tips = $630/week x 52 weeks = $32,760/yr

What's considered good tips?

Crabs could be living the high life, but instead he chooses to live in his parent's basement at the age of 30.

Can we get back into the topic of what OP is going to buy now?

I don't know if you know this OP, but I hear they will allow car loans up to 84 months now. That means more buying power for you.

I think I said it wrong when I said 40k. I meant a 2017/18 is 40k but I will be buying it used 3-4 years old with 30-50k miles is okay for me. I was looking at the RC350 but I do believe that would be stretching too much even in my opinion. What I am currently looking at is the 2014 Q50 which is anywhere from 16k to 30k depending on year mileage and if it is the sport trim or not.

Ideally Im looking at a 2014 3.0T with 30-40k miles for about 20k.

$h!t, man.

Pick up an older (10+ years old), but more powerful/fun ride.

For example, these can be had for anywhere from $10k-$25k:

2007 Cadillac CTS-V sedan (6.0L LS2 V8 making 400 hp, 395 lb-ft; weighs 3850 lbs = 9.625 lbs/hp)
2012 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport (3.5L V6 making 306 hp, 277 lb-ft; weighs 3530 lbs [RWD] = 11.5 lbs/hp)
2008 BMW Z4 (E86) Coupe 3.0si (I6 making 255 hp, 220 lb-ft; but only weighs 3100 lbs. = 12.1 lbs/hp)
2003 BMW 540i (E39) (V8 making 282 hp, 320 lb-ft; weighs 3750 lbs. = 13.3 lbs/hp)

Then save the rest of your coin and put it towards a house payment or paying down consumer/student debts.

Hey thoiboi, did Jon borrow your bike? Because I think there some backpedaling here.

Do you not see in the quote you just posted where I admitted the RC350 was a bit too much of a stretch? I admitted I worded it poorly and that what I initially was interested in was too expensive. I am telling you now what I want/can make work. Im not back pedaling, we aren't in an argument here. Wtf are you on?

Actually he was telling tales about how much money I make in more than one thread which is frankly none of his business. I simply told someone else to not listen to him and poked fun at him in the process because he was being a dick unprovoked. From what it looks like I was vague enough for not many to understand what I said. I had no intention of elaborating on it until maj flat out asked.

That would be foolish, Justin.
Always finance at a low rate...especially a depreciating asset.
Cash is king and get GAP insurance.

I still think Jon should love what he has. He's just bored.
