R50/53 What are your monthly payments? *US only preferred*

>>According to the standard theories of capital, if you don't want to pay for it, the item IS worthless. All money is is a proxy for hard goods. So (for me) if I can get what I want for 20, I won't pay 40. That was my point.

>>BTW, at 46, I don't think I'm who BMW had in mind for marketing the MINI to. Their loss. Generalizations are exactly that. And because of that, they tend not to work. I ordered before I had seen an ad and before the two local dealerships even had signage. While $20 is not exactly an impulse buy, for transportation (and one that's fun too!) it was a no-brainer for me. A $40k Bimmer I would labor over, and shop, and be annoyed mumbling to myself that my 1st house cost almost that, etc etc.

I totally agree with you! I'm 44 and I know that BMW didn't design the new MINI for me. And at $20k, I am allowed the flexability to get the options and accessories that I want. If I run it up to $25k, I don't mind at all. and No I won't buy a $40k car because that's more than I own on my little old house!!
