Income for F-type R...
#121
So you have a commitment problem: don't keep cars or friends for very long.
I would think as a financial advisor you would be into long term (client) relationships. I treasure long term friends and relationships and clients. I thing most of us bought the F-Type with our hearts, not our logical brains. We are in love with them.
Look at it as an advertising expense...

As for the commitment to friends....I am not sure what you getting at....My comment about "virtual friends" and "internet points" was directed to the members that felt insults and sarcasm were the best way to contribute to the thread.
It was my way of saying that insults typed from semi-anonymous sources, in an Internet forum, make me chuckle more than they offend.

Definitly a car commitment issue, I believe I am at or close to 25 cars for the past 20 years....typically I can make it about 2yrs before I need to mix it up.

I share your car commitment issues. My wife and I have gone through 10 cars in 10 years between the two of us. It's part of the reason I lease almost always. The FTYPE is the exception to that rule with me. I'm stunned by how much I love this car. I don't know if it's a forever kind of love but it's one hot romance for the foreseeable future.

Of course there will be folks earning much less who are willing to make irresponsible or simply "enthusiast" decisions (because they love cars) to buy an F-Type. But I think it's sensible to query the community here about affordability relative to income and net worth, because this is a thread that other buyers may find quite useful.
Glad you asked.

Just one voice, but I found your question thoughtful and relevant to the forum. While Jaguar would like all buyers to leap emotionally into a purchase to maximize its addressable market, you represent a totally reasonable customer journey which many (but not all) F-Type buyers have.

Ya, this thread has been alive a while.
I never ended up buying a F-type R, I rented one and liked it, but never pulled the trigger.
As for a garage update, I took delivery of a 21’ G550 about a month ago, have a 2020 Supra sitting in the garage, and got an X5M for the wife. (Not sure if I had that when I originally posted the thread.
I think after those 3 most recent car purchases, I have overcome my sticker shock hesitations. I just try not to think that I prolly should have purchased a rental property vs buying the G. Lol
Anyway, I hope everyone on here is enjoying their F-types, definitely a fun car.

I knew that I could financially afford the car and that wasn’t what my question to the group was meant to be. It was more about mindset of spending this much on a car and to gathers others input.

My grandfather used to say that if you're afraid to put your fender on some ******* that's trying to cut you off, you can't afford the car! He could have easily afforded and Cadillac, but drove a Buick instead ( with mangled fenders).
If you're not comfortable driving a $110K new car for whatever reason, get something else. Has little to do with income or net worth in my opinion....
