When it's YOUR dream, the price is irrelevant, if it makes you happy and you can afford it.
It's when it's NOT your dream and you look at cold hard figures that probably creep over £1500 a month, its a little harder to digest.
I'm considering a brand new purchase of a car that is more than you car was but as I work from home and have done hardly any mileage in my M3, and given that a new car will tank in value, everyone is telling me what other sensible stuff I could be doing with the money but I just WANT it!!! haha
