NashtonActually, the $90K you keep throwing around is actually in Canadian ... which was also a 'close to' (meaning not exceeded) and after conversion to US dollars ($) is no more than $81.26K.
I'm willing to bet..... that if you had to money to afford a $90000 car, you'd be driving a BMW.
Now there's also the matter of your local 13% VAT which shoulc come off of that number because it is tax, which would take the product's cost down to no more than $71.9K ...
...but no reason to, since you didn't put that much cash down anyway: what you said you put down was roughly a third.
So $81K/3 = $27K in real cash upfront is what you actually was able to _afford_.
And suddenly, Lloyd's $21K in cash for his Buick doesn't look so "shabby": golly gee!
So then do let us know _if_ you're ever going to get a BMW yourself, Nicolas!
And do not forget that when it comes to "Marquee Heritage" bragging nonsense, they rank a step above Audi on the Marquee based pecking order of the Autobahn. Too bad you didn't make the grade ;-)
