When you find a vehicle you’ve always wanted for a great price, but you just had a conversation with your wife about needing to be better savers.

Kinja'd!!!

I love these Centurions and will own one some day, the fact that this one has a diesel too makes it so much more desireable. Damn money problems. Any one want to give me $1500?

I’m in the same boat. Right after we had a similar convo, two Range Rover Classics came up for under a grand a piece...combined I might still need another $5k to have one that moves under it’s own power, but the dream was so close!

Yeah, me too. My girlfriend was jubilant when I paid off my current car. Then she sees me looking at an LS swapped 928.

I’m still not seeing any benefits of being married.

Try to find cars that are good investments... I’m spoiled in the way that all the cars I want are great investments, but try to find one that maybe could actually be worth something someday...

And yeah, that Bronco isn’t one of those :(

It’s a problem...I just enjoy browsing craigslist, but then you find something you’ve always wanted.

What’s even worse is that I’m the one saying we need to save better

The best way to save money, don’t spend it.

Yea, it sucks.I really shouldn’t be spending money for things I don’t need, but I still feel like this

I have no clue...If it were running, I’d probably be coming up with a plan on buying it, but I don’t need another project right now and I’d rather find one that spent its life in California or something.

Haha...that’s exactly how I’m feeling. I’m guessing it’s probably in worse shape than it seems. I contacted the guy and it doesn’t run and has a leaky windshield. As much as I want one of these, I’m going to do the sensible thing and wait and then go find one in California or something where I won’t have to worry about rust everywhere.

Yeah, it’s clearly too much of a project for me ... Still tempting though.

We’ve had the same conversation. But that looks like kind of a rough car.

On my list of things I will never ever trust:

A $1500 Centurion.

they’re freaking awesome though.

Yea, it’s probably worse than it looks. I contacted the guy and it doesn’t run and has a leaky windshield. If it ran, I’d probably be a bit more inclined to pursue it, but as it is, I’ll wait and eventually go find something out west that I know won’t have any rust
