Option 3: Spend 10-15k on something lightly used and reliable yet fun.
I'm in a similar position as you, OP. 24, make 65k, and last year I bought a lightly used (18k miles) car for $23k. I love the car, and don't regret the purchase, but I feel like it would have been better to spend less and save more. My buddy bought a used g35 w/ 60k miles for $12k and has had as little need for maintenance as I have.
TLDR: Don't drop >$15k on a car yet.
Also, because I spent so much, I feel the need to baby it. If I had something cheaper I wouldn't mind trashing it a bit, driving harder, and would worry less overall.
what car did you get?
2013 Chrysler 300c 5.7l v8
Buy the 300zx then if it’s going to make you happy. I did a similar thing recently with a used 1 series, haven’t enjoyed life this much in years. The car somehow managed to pull me out of this weird mid-20s rut I was in. Even if it eventually blows up and I have to get something else more modern, I’ll still get a smile on my face 30 years from now when I think back on my bimmer
Just get what you want my dude, I bought a used 3 series BMW with 30k miles on it and I could not be happier, if I bought something else I didn't want as much i would probably always regret it
Just do think about if you're going to need those 2 extra doors for the near future or if you'll get a second bigger car later on
