<-- SALES IN NISSAN 23 YEARS OLD DRIVING $57K car. So yeah sales has alot of opportunity to make money. HARD but very lucrative when you get it down.

It really isn't all that hard to buy a $60K car in this day and age. I'll get to the reasons later. I know plenty of people who make less than me that drive $60K cars. It's all how badly you want it.

Financing and savings from driving a beater car for 10+ years is the trick. I can elaborate more on this if people are interested. But basically, it's about driving a cheap first car and saving money like you are making a car payment to yourself.

Happy for you OP.

For me personally, I'm not comfortable with having 50k in a item that depreciates 15% a year + having the same car for more than 2-3 years (not yet anyway).
