RE: What Salary needed to afford Challenger
Anyone CAN pay cash if they SAVE their money long enough. I am not rich but have been saving a long time & I drive a '97 F150 that is paid for. That allows me to save money every month for my Challenger. Listen, If you want to borrow money to buy something that is your business but markfromaurora was looking for input on how to buy a Challenger & I think my advice is pretty sound. I cannot believe anyone would actually take issue with someone suggesting he think about saving the money and paying cash.
By the way...I am pretty sure your friend was in a lot better financial shape by paying cash for everything when his illness hit than if he had been financed to the hilt like most people. To think that anyone would claim a good security net is to maintain a good credit rating is laughable.
