I have to agree with anyone who tells you to wait. Toys are getting expensive NEW and holding value for about 2 years. If you look around at anything in the $30K plus range, it takes a minimum $10K hit in the first two years.

I would hold out and buy a used car in two years. You're going to tear it apart and make it your own anyway, plus the "Z" cars are a 45yr old man's dream, so in two years you can pick one up that was bought and never taken over 3500 rpm as some old dude wanted to troll for 25 year olds.

I saw a red 350 at Ace Hardware. I talked to the owner (probably 50 yrs old) and he said he had it for 3 months and got it up to 90mph. He said it was "scary fast".

Wait and be happy. I know Winter makes you want to do crazy things, but just hold out and you can have both.
