I walk to work and don’t even have a bus pass. You do the math.
 
Favorite bumper sticker of all time: “Nice truck. Sorry about the small _____”
 
I have a Infiniti and wife drives a BWM… both bought used and under 35k with >25k miles. I live in a city where you have to have a car.
I think the income levels are a little low. I have a lot of bills… home, school for the little one, wifes school loans, new kitchen she wants, etc etc

I hope your friend is a girl. No guy drives a boxter, everyone knows boxter is for girls (borat joke, modified).
Porsches are actually pretty reliable vehicles. The engine is my car is lifted out of the Cayenne and it’s never given me issues.
If your friend is paying 1K to have the battery replaced he needs to find a new mechanic. People who go to the dealership for anything besides major maintenece/repairs are wasting their money. Usually a shop that specializes in VW/Porsche/Merc/BMW does a better job and charges substantially less. I do moy of my own work (oil/tranny fluid/brakes/rotation…light maint.

I think a lot of it has to do with where you live. For instance in Florida with no INC Tax 80K goes a long way.

Wow, you really know a lot about me. Seeing as I got an academic to go to school and then got community service scholarships through out school.
My office is 1 mile from my house so it really doesnt make sense to buy an apartment in town if I am going to be paying 1K a month. My parents invited me back home, not the other way around. You need to chill the fuck out. You should be happy you can hide behind the viel of being on a message board, I am pretty sure face to face you wouldn’t have the balls to say that to me.

This is a pretty asinine statement.
Consider how much time you spend in your house versus your car. I make about 6 figures and drive a car that cost less than my triathlon bike. (a few K)
It is the clothes that make the man, not the car.

You kidding me this one beats it by a mile.
“You should be happy you can hide behind the viel of being on a message board, I am pretty sure face to face you wouldn’t have the balls to say that to me.”
like for real…..
 
Nuppal, I didn’t say this person was a friend. And no, it’s a guy. From what I know, he doesn’t go to a dealership but rather a mechanic that specializes in foreign cars. Getting a battery replaced in any Porsche is an expensive proposition. And what happens is that, because this guy keeps the Boxster as a status symbol and not as just a mode of transportation, he doesn’t drive it enough. Hence, the battery dies. It’s preposterous. If you’re going to buy a “nice” car, at least use it once in awhile.

Why? Not for someone who is living with his parents…
