I’m looking for a new car to buy, but I’m having doubts about the best route.

I’m in search of a vehicle and I’m having a little trouble.

Cars aren’t vehicles to wealth and so this month while looking to buy a new car, I’m struggling with my goals in purchasing. Everything that I do is designed to buy real estate. So initially, it’s difficult for me to justify buying anything for more than a couple thousand. That’s why every car I have driven to date has been a used car and one I paid all cash for.

For me, a car is not a symbol of status or wealth but rather a symbol of financial intelligence. Everyone lives beyond their means, especially in big cities, and it’s most obvious when you see people in their cars. But the more I find myself dreaming about that beautiful and new BMW 3-series, the more I find my self analyzing why anyone would throw so much cash away and I end up almost talking myself right out of buying a new or few year old car, again.

There have been times that I’ve been disappointed with my wheels and lack of shiny rims, especially because the potential clients looking out their windows don’t see me and my vehicle as a symbol of frugality to the nth degree, but rather as a chump in cheap piece of crap. You are what you eat and you are what you drive.

But those moments of embarrassment are fleeting and the idea that I’m on to something bigger and better persists. I want to create real wealth and signing up to give my cash away every month to make the “man” wealthy just doesn’t make sense, unless that’s my goal.

But it’s not and my goal is also not to out shine people on the freeway or speed past them on the streets, but to create true financial wealth and I’ll do that by buying one building at a time. Until then, I’ll need to find the intersection where reliable and presentable and cheap and credit-establishing meet.
