If it’s a manageable payment, and he is confident that it won’t hurt his wallet beyond his comfort level, then why shouldn’t he buy it? It doesn’t have to be a statement of wealth…It could just be him wanting a good family sized car with a high perf level ---

Another fun fact is that I have never sold a car for less then what I paid. I know he got a great deal and he is not going to wake up and have an M5 worth $0 He will be able to drive this car for 3-4 years and not take a hit over 5-7k. If he bought some brand new econo pos you wouldn’t be saying shit and he would still take a bigger loss over 3-4 years. ---

OMG, he bought what he wanted with his own money, call the police! :tantrum: As for his ‘long term debt on a depreciating asset’, I am willing to bet the percentage of resale value on his M5 will be greater than many other used vehicles of that age/mileage/condition in 3-4 years, BMWs hold their value very well. I can’t believe someone is so ‘concerned’ about somebody else’s finances, what a good friend!:roll2: ---
