You're right, it's more psychological than a true financial issue, because $8000 financed over 5 years = $160/month, which doesn't make a significant difference. I guess part of the problem is that this is a secondary car, and also the 987S crosses that important psychological $50K barrier, and will cost >2x as much as my every day car. That's what makes the 987S more difficult to swallow-



My 987 s is MY second car as well. My normal work car is a Ford Focus Diesel and my wife drives a Kia Picanto. The extra kit I put on my Boxster was $5000 MORE than the Kia cost and the car cost THREE times more than the Focus! . I agree it is psychological - I agonised for ages over whether or not to spend all that money on a "fun" car and still worry about it now sometimes - and the car is only 3 weeks away! But what's the point of working hard until you can afford these things only not to do it? You only come this way once, right? Do yourself a favour - go for it
