I appreciate both sides of the financial discussion.

In this case I have to side with the "don't overextend or make a bad financial decision while I'm smitten" camp.

The whole idea of what I'm trying to accomplish is to not to borrow any money under any circumstances...not only for the purchase of the car but for any sorting which might have to be done afterward. And, beyond that, to have a slush fund for unexpected contingencies, which we all know will occur.

Also, the funds must come from my car fund, not from savings or a 401(k) or any sources not earmarked for this purchase.

Honestly, I fear that Jason's Kirkham is just beyond my reach. He has kindly offered to show me the car again in greater detail, but I'm feeling more and more strongly that it'd be wrong to waste his time given my budget constraints. I will be contacting him shortly to discuss further.
