What Would Don Draper Do?
sorry, OP, about the situation. hope you're able to get your money back.
i also hope you learned a lesson from this ordeal.
it's not our place to say you should/shouldn't buy or what you can/can't afford. it sounds like you're doing quite well for yourself at your age.
however, there is a lot of good advice in this thread and other threads you've started regarding business ventures and so forth.
i would recommend taking up on those.
Kids.
Kids giving other kids advice.

Even at 20 years old you should know better than to buy a car on Ebay without even seeing it in person first. It appears you're still waiting on this ghost BMW. In all honesty I hope the car shows up or Ebay helps you get your money back but either way this was a lesson learned...

Everything the OP has posted about on AZ has gone to shit. But not in a traditional way, in a really catastrophic way. And even more strange, it happens every time he posts about buying something. Every time.
I've said it about 10 times... and I'll say it again. Get a good financial planner ASAP.

I was
and got suspicious a few days ago about the "purchase" at post #23. I didn't want to post to rain on OP's parade if things were OK, though.Unfortunately, OP's posts thereafter only confirmed a messy situation-- like those which arose in several of his other threads.
OP dave-- you need to run stuff by somebody with experience and common sense (parent, family member??) before impulsively making decisions and taking actions that affect you financially. G/L.

I don't understand people today.. I drove my CL to the ground and leased a TSX and saved up alot of money so I can buy my 1st home (townhouse) before I turned 30..
Would it not make more sense in putting that money toward a peice of property now that the market and rates are down?? Or is it just me?? I could have took the money I saved and bought a brand new M# cash or maybee a slightly used M5 BUt i would rather be triving a TSX AND going home to my own home then driving a M3/M5 and going home to mommys basement!

No thanks, housing is slightly flat and moving up slowly in my area, in 5 years I'll have hopefully the same equity instead of two cars worth 1/2 what I paid.
But at 20, don't buy a house, you've got the rest of your life for that. If you're sitting on 50k in cash, you need to find a financial adviser and put that to work... Had you put that into the market around the march lows last year, you'd probably have at least double that now, probably much more.
As others have said, get that money to work for you by a professional.

Hell, @ almost 30 I'm going back to school for my MBA because I know it's the only way I can break thru my current career into something bigger and hence more $$.
Spend like 20k on college, that's worth hundreds of thousands over the course of your life.
