When I wanted a RR I wanted a full-size and I bought it. That’s really the only way to go IMO. Same with my 911.
No offense but you’re doing it all wrong. The amount of money you’ve wasted and will continue to waste “building up to” what you really want blows my mind. Like your total Velar and proposed RRS payments could have paid for a RR by now. Think about that.
Reminds me of the guy who kept insisting he was a real car enthusiast and into sports cars and wanted the forum’s validation for his $50,000+ M3 lease (sum of the payments, yeah it sounds pretty insane when you actually sum them up). An M3 is a great sports sedan but it’s not a sports car. He’s never going to get the sports car of his dreams if he keeps wasting money, or at the least it pushed him back by years. Don’t be that guy.
Every time you lease an unhacked car or buy a high depreciation “for now” car it just sets you back even further from your goals.
I was not referring to financially building up, I was referring to building up in size as a full size is very large for the narrow curving roads where we live. I owned these cars over 20 years and I have young kids, therefore a lease.
People misunderstand being financially savvy all the time. Unless you’ve inherited real money, the only way for car enthusiasts to drive the car of their dreams is to be goal oriented.
It’s amazing how a forum supposedly dedicated to personal finance hacks of all kinds attracts so many gadflies whose only purpose is to die on the hill of encouraging people to make financially dubious decisions.
Reminds me of the “House Hunters” episode my wife was watching where the couple has a $600k house budget. Nothing wrong with that except they were driving a brand new GLE which was completely unhackable at the time so they financed $75,000+ or leased at above $1,000 a month. Nuts.
