Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this, so feel free to move it to the appropriate location if necessary.
For the last 8 or 9 months I have went back and forth over the decision to buy an MS. I was about ready to pull the trigger on the 40 and wouldn't you know it, they pulled it from production and I was back to square one. 99.99% of my driving is less then 100 miles in a day so I thought at the time that the 60 was overkill but now with the expansion of the supercharger network, I can justify it (I can justify a lot of things though).
I have talked myself into believing it is almost a no brainer to pull the trigger on an MS60, relatively standard options with only the supercharger access added. I would be putting down about $15k as the down payment, so that would make the purchase price around $75k, which makes a loan of around $60k +Tax (anyone know what the tax rate is for Los Angeles county on a purchase like this, I'm new to the area). So my payment is going to be around $900 give or take a $25ish. My current car payment is around $450, throw in monthly gas, periodic oil changes, etc and the monthly TCO is probably closer to $750, and thats probably being very conservative. I also get reimbursed for mileage at work, which I drive in the range of 50 miles in a slow week and 250 on a busy week.
Am I crazy to think the decision to buy an MS60 is a no brainer or is there something I am not considering?
