Hey guys,
My name is Jason, and I may be getting a new car at the end of the year (hopefully sooner, though). A little background, I owned a Vietnamese Restaurant when I was younger with my dad. Originally it was my parents, but they divorced because they were in a rough patch, so I had to haul ass during High school. Recently, we sold the restaurant after our lease was up, and I left my dad with his and my cut because he sought out to be a producer overseas. It's been about a year from then, so he's just getting back into things. He hooked up with a couple of people with power, so he's doing well.
I didn't ask for a cent because I know my dad has had a shit life, so I'm just trying to live off of what I can make.
I currently live with my girlfriend. We share an apartment, and things have been doing great. Her dad is actually paying for my college (I got to a junior one to get my associates, then I'm going to go to an undergrad, then a graduate university) because he's a very generous individual. I decided to major in Paralegal in order to get my foot in the door for when I start studying law to be a lawyer or a law clerk (It's kind of like studying to be a nurse, then being a doctor). It seems like a weird route, but I prefer having to work and study, just something about it motivates me more. So right now I am in paralegal (Prelaw), and I actually told my girlfriend we should sell off her car because it's kind of useless. I have a 2011 Nissan Murano (got it brand new :]), and she has a 2009 Infiniti G37 Journey (She got it in 2011, so slightly used). Well, the new models for the Infiniti have just come out (Q series to replace the G series....which actually replaced the G series and some Nissan cars), so the price of the G37 will shoot down by the 2nd or 3rd year of production. I know this because that's just how business works; I think we can all agree. So basically, the value of her car would depreciate quickly, so we would be stuck with it forever if we decided to keep it. I don't wanna sell the Murano because it's an SUV, and an SUV is timeless in both of our opinions because it will help us when we want to move, can carry a bunch more people, and help in the summer when we wanna hang out with friends. So back in December of 2013, I suggested we get the Mercedes CLA-250 for about 30 grand, but her dad didn't want to get a Mercedes because we Asians like imports, I guess lel.
So he is trying to close a deal with one of his houses, and when he sells it, he said we can get a new car since we've been helping him post the ads, we've been trying to support ourselves, and doing fairly well in school (only 3.9 gpa, but meh, for a junior college, EVERYONE should be getting 4.0). The new Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge is coming out, which is going to be a luxury sports Sedan, boasting 560 hp and about 480ft/lb of torque, which is just fucking insane. It is estimated to be around 75k, but we're not sure...still waiting for official production. Because we're both young and reckless with money, we were also thinking of maybe a 2010 Nissan GT-R for around 70k, which only has 485hp and 460ft/lb of torque, but it's a coupe and has a sportier feel to it. Also, it's Godzilla, holy balls.
tl;dr 2010 GT-R or wait for 2015 Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge?
