This is a good example.. If you feel like the extra 11k per year (and compounding) is too much to pass up, then IMO, you're not 'ready' to get a GT4.
Some people might have 100k in investments and feel comfortable to spend another 140 cash on a GT4, and some people might need 500k in investments before feeling comfortable.

My way is admittedly conservative though, hindsight is 20/20, but over the last 5 years, you could have financed almost any enthusiast type sports car and been totally ok.
