I was damn close to buying a 2000 Camaro, but then we decided to get dog #2. That meant a 5-door would really simplify life. Yes, it is certainly car-loan territory. The tentative plan would be to finance, and then probably pay the sucker off once one of the two of us hits a bonus. I certainly would not want to run the 5 years of financing to fruition. We COULD buy this car outright, but with our jobs constantly in the balance, I would rather keep our savings account filled in the event of disaster. One bonus would make me comfortable paying the loan off, and I have to believe that in the nect 12 months ONE of us can manage to get paid some actual money.
This car would be our main car (our only for quite awhile), and I would like to drive it until it implodes. Someday, if we have the scratch, and a 2nd place to park, it would become the wife's car, and I could get something silly.
