How to buy a sports car by Landseer

"It was a fun and exhilarating experience to buy a sports car."

How I did it: I was browsing through sports cars and came across my Lamborghini Countach. What happened actually is, after I found it, I had decided it was too expensive for me. Then my brother sent me pictures of his brand new DeTamaso Pantera. I said no way is he gonna show me up lol. I bought the car, brought it home, and had a picture taken with "flipping the bird" and an evil grin. The caption said, "My Lambo eats your DeTamaso for breakfast!" Ah sibbling rivalry...gotta love it...hahaha.

I did enter it in a local car show and won 2nd place!

Lessons & tips: Do your research before purchasing. Make sure you can afford it as well. Take it for a test drive to see if it's right for you. You may love a certain type of car, but it may not feel right or handle the way you expect. Other than that, have fun with it! I sold mine about 4 years ago, but while I had it, it was a lot of fun...just watch out for the people with cameras. If you run into people who are relentless, find a safe place to pull over such as a grocery parking lot or the like. Definitely stay away from Wal-Mart parking lots lol.

Resources: researching the vehicles, blue book values, financing options, physically trying things out, inspection before buying, and much more.

    Can't buy a new one buuut... 19 months ago

    My car now keeps crapping out on me… it almost got me into an accident today… so I really need a new car. I can’t really afford a fancy sports car new. Maybe used?
    But should I really waste all that money for a car about as old as the one I have now? I love the whole sports car convertible look but as a student with the money I have now, I’m not sure thats a wise choice.

    Looking forward to next week 3 years ago

    My car failed its annual inspection a few weeks back and unfortunately it had to be sent to the scrapyard. Next week I take delivery of a Smart Roadster Coupe. I really can’t wait. I’ve been to so many car dealerships over the last few weeks. My choice was to either go for a car that would be very practical or a go that would be fun fun fun. I choose the latter.

    No more rust. 4 years ago

    My current car is falling apart. The only thing that is keeping it together is the rust. I seem to be spending so much on keeping it on the road. I simply can’t afford to change it at the moment.

    But I still want to be able to dream. I really like the look of the Smart Coupe. I know Mercedes have decided to stop making this model at the end of the year but I still want one. Maybe the price will reduce substantial and I may be able to afford one next year.
