I have always wanted to buy a BMW or Benz like TS.. not until I start to count the cost of ownership, depreciation rate and the maintenance cost.

The fact is the car depreciate a lot faster than I could save. The car price drop as much as 30k a year and maintenance about 5k a year, that about 3k a month. With that money, I could afford to buy a brand new iPhone every month or holiday in Europe every year.

Most folks here are discouraging the purchase. I would like to be the contrarian here:

1. Steve Jobs: Live Each Day As If It Was Your Last
2. This is my personal goal, I have every reason to fulfill it.
3. Life is short, if I do not do it now, i will regret for life
4. My peers are driving good cars, I do not want to a loser
5. It is a status symbol. A sign of being successful.
6. It is my life, I am in charge of my life let a lone, which car to buy!
7. Nike: just do it!
8. When one get into un-comfort zone, one will step up, grow and make more money.
