I like my car, but i think i paid too much for it?

Question

Its a 05 g35 coupe with 56000 miles, loaded with sport package (19 inch forged rims, sport tuned suspension...). The asking price was 19K but i only paid 15K cash. The title was clear but later i found out the car had unibody damage ( i think it was fixed and then sold to the guy before me), the parking brake isnt working, and the radio sucks...

Answer 1

I'm going to guess you are a male, perhaps 23 years old?



If you had paid $5,000 instead for something that did not look so pretty but only had 25,000 miles on it (and would last 25,000 longer than what you now have), and invested the other $10,000 in a "Growth stock" mutual fund, you would have an extra half-million bucks to spend in 40 years when you retire at 63...(even if you put it somewhere "safe" like a series of CDs, you'd end up with between $100,000 and $170,000)



Still, I bet those 19 inch rims make you feel pretty good, huh?

Answer 2

Which is why, if you have any brains before spending $15,000, you spend another 50 bucks for a mechanic to look at it.

Answer 3

And this has what to do with politics and government?

Answer 4

A fool and his money is soon parted?

Answer 5

should have asked for a car fax
