Bottom line these cars are toys. IMHO toys come after responsibilities.
And always pay cash for toys. If you can't then you can't afford it.
Lastly it's about ratios. I personally don't own things with motors that total more than half my annual income. They are not investments and tieing up that much of your income in toys is plain dumb.
My 2 pennies. But everyone has their own views and get different financial advise.

Audi A5 6MT, C63 AMG
If you are looking for a daily driver able to survive hard winters then the AWD is your choice. But i'll go with the RS5 or maybe soon RS4. Some will say C63 is driveable in winter but the audi will be more practical. Now if you a re financially at ease you can own both or choose a week end car + a daily beater

your accountant sucks then no offence, i paid for my C63 cash and didn't pay a dime more in taxes because I "took more out"
I'm in Canada too with a Canadian corp and a American corp
"less tax" it's 13% corporate tax guys...if you're going to cry over paying <100k on $1M profit then Idk..you're greedy as *** then
my logic is..if you can't afford 2 of them, then don't even bother buying the 1st. You need $$ to grow, live, and $$ to make more money

I'm not the usual target market for these cars, some of these numbers are insane. LOL
Is there a cash price for lowest salary? HAHA, I get to own and maintain one cool car at a time, the rest are beaters. Maybe once our business is off the ground I'll be back here...

People who drop 80k cash on a car better have 500k in the bank.
Much better investments out there then to drop that on a car instead of leasing or financing at a cheap rate.
If you have a business a lease is the way to go. Especially if you don't keep cars long. Also if it gets smashed you aren't stuck with a accident report on your merc.
This is a question for your accountant of how much you can write off if any.
The less you take out from company the less tax you pay, but also sucks when your t4s are **** and you're trying to get a mortgage or big loan.

PS, I am not going to say how much I make but I will tell you that I have over $10k a month in car payments. That does NOT include my commercial fleet vehicles for my company.

Absolutely not true! I paid $140k for my C63 BS including tax. I could have written a check but instead I financed $110k of it for 3 year at 1.9%. Financing it cost me about $3,200 in interest. By keeping that $110k in my portfolio it has made me $16k+/-, subtract the $3200 i paid in interest and I am still over $12K ahead of the game.

For example, "If I can scrape together the $75k for this car, I can have it,," rather than, "Is the cost of this vehicle commensurate with my income and other debts?"

You Ausie's get screwed on the front end and the back end lol. Your cars cost like $25% more than ours and your financing is 50-100% higher, that is just nuts for me to wrap my head around.

The two cars I'm considering are the C63 AMG and the Audi S4...
The S4 because of AWD, and because I have a newborn, and want to not worry about winter driving.
The C63 because I sometimes think... Screw it... I'll take the baby in the wife's Civic... But Daddy needs a real car!
