3 paths to buying your Dream Car

A lot of bikers ride clutches on cars. My brother in-law tells me you're supposed to do that on a bike. He tried it on my car and I put an end to it right away. If nobody ever told this guy then it's not surprising.

[@WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

@@VTOffRoadAdventures As a motorcycle rider, I can confirm. They have wet clutches, so you're supposed to slip the clutch at low speed. I've never driven a stick car, but I assume you just rev the engine up very slightly (maybe 1500rpm?) and just smoothly let the clutch out?

[@VTOffRoadAdventures]

@@WeAreTwoDoorsDown Close. You can dump it but rule of thumb is use the clutch as little as possible and try to minimize slipping by rev matching.

[@WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

@@VTOffRoadAdventures Oh, I was just referring to getting the vehicle moving from a dead stop. In that scenario, don't you have to slip the clutch a little to avoid stalling the vehicle?

The major depreciation happens during the first 5 years as the newness wears off and the warranty expires. That car will be $90k for the next 5-10 years.

My only problem watching these stories is, I am in the search for my first super car. When I hear stories about how someone loves their car I second guess what I have been really wanting forever, and may eventually end up with.

Anyway thanks for the great stories, advice, and experiences with your cars.

[@sakariaskarlsson634]

1. Have a realistic dream car that you realistically can afford.. Sorry no bugatti for most of us lol, also keep your needs in mind, if you drive a long way a tiny sports car as only car might not work so good after all, also use the market to your benefit, target the cars that offer the best value, and try to stay off the ones that dont 2. Have a job or get the money however you choose, try not to go to jail though.. 2. Eighter save to buy it cash or lease it (but never a 10+ yr payment plan, then its too much, in fact stay off financing its usually crappy and keeps you tied to the car for lots of years)

I know this is about buying but more economical cars like a 440i or M3 you can lease them or demo cars very cheaply if they are at the right time. Ie I've seen M4 CS leases for about 790 with 0 cap cost reduction since they are leftover and also old model being phased out soon with lots of trunk money. BMW demo cars can be very cheap relative to MSRP much less than 1% MSRP leases still with 10K miles but possibly 24 months for the higher residual.
