But don't forget to consider the risk involved with going into debt. That risk is MUCH higher with a commission structured job, such as the one he has. I stand by my statement that he doesn't need to go into debt on a vehicle in order to present a good image. Maybe the mustang presents an image of immaturity and he wants to present a better image to potential clients. Fine, I can handle that. However, he doesn't need to go 15 or 20k in debt to present an image of stability and maturity. He can pick up a used Camry for 5 or 6k (or any reliable vehicle that has a better image than the 'stang). If he trades in the mustang and pays cash for a used vehicle, he's ahead of the game. He can then trade into a better vehicle down the road after he starts seeing some residuals from prior sales. I think pauldun hit this one on the head with his post on "image."
