| What is your occupation? What % of your annual income is $25K? What % of your net worth is $25K? Where is this windfall of cash from?
The point here is - if I had 25K in cash at age 20 I would not burn it up on a car that will be nearly worthless in 5-10 years or when you wrap it around a street lamp.
I would think practical, around $5K and save the rest. When you are older, that 20K could help you realize a dream like a new house for your family, a business or just having the security of cash in the bank. I have loved the Z32 since high school. It came out just as I was going into driving age. Impossible to afford then, I waited as long as I could. Its a much more realistic car at age 30 with a career than it would have been in high school or college. Of course, at age 20, I would not have known what I know how and would have surely blown it on cars, girls and booze only later regretting the mistake. Good luck either way.
