That was my decision too! (@28 yrs old! I wish I'd bought when I finished uni!)

Unfortunately Mrs R won the debate

Madness..... get the house. I may sound like an old fart (cause I am) but you will regret it later. At your age you have plenty of time for cars.

Started my own company at the end of last year & I'll need 2 or 3 years worth of books before I can apply for mortgages anyway. Fingers crossed by that time the market will hit a low (for my sakes anyway) . . and when it does . . there will be a black beauty on the drive!

i agree. real estate is a better option. A car is NOT an investment. I love the GT-R but i would take a house over a car if I was in your position. No matter how I love that car.
I waited until I could afford to do anything with my money before I deicded to purchase the cars I really wanted.
It depend on what your priorities are. I have a family so I have ensure I can provide for them first, then myself last.

I don't think it's anywhere near as black and white as this. In the current market place it's quite possible that house prices will continue to drop. Last months drop of 2.5% in England was considerable. The US is in an even worse position.

It's also probable that the demand for the GT-R will at least initially mean that early examples will command a premium.

If your playing the long game, the house is a good option but short term, the GT-R has its merits.
