What was you march up market?
I'm curious about how many of you guys bought further and further up market with your car purchases.
For example, maybe your first car was a Sentra and then you moved on to a Camry, and from there to GS and from there to an S-Class or LS or whatever.
Another interesting question is how far up market would you like to go?
Personally I think I've reached a plateau for myself and my family at the near luxury level occupied my cars like the G, 3-Series, IS, TL and Maxima. Those cars are the best fit for me and my lifestyle. There are great cars above these but they just aren't for me.

Regardless of what it is or how much it is, I still need to be able to validate and justify the purchase though. I don't like to blindly spend money...

poor grad. student--> in-debt graduate
I'm getting a little sensible with spending money on cars now seeing how money is thrown down the drain with depreciation.
however, I want to go as high as a DBS (keep dreaming)
