I make about the same as you, own my ISF since May and with a mortgage and bills i still have some left for the payments and some to put away for savings. Maintenance wise so far Ive done OEM plugs and oil changes and that ran me about $200. The biggest expense I would say are gonna be the brakes and tires, fortunately previous owner took care of that. Otherwise I would say it would run me about $1500-$1800 depending on what i go with. Another expense at least for me is insurance, paying about $100 a month full coverage. If you arent considerably in debt and not a huge spender I think you should go for it. But of course, you should jump in one with some money put away in case something does happen, goodluck!

I have clients all the time who spend too much money on things they want rather than need - nothing wrong with it. From my professional standpoint as an FA, it's not the best decision but I would need more info. You set yourself back financially for a solid while because you're throwing money at a depreciating asset and you may be stretching yourself too thin if anything unexpected were to happen. However, from my personal standpoint as an avid car enthusiast, I support it LOL.
It really depends on your expenses. If your expenses/obligations are low, you can easily afford it. As long as you're planning well enough for your day to day expenses while planning/saving for your future (wife, home, investments, retirement, children and all that good stuff), then by all means pick up the car!
Seems to me you've already made up your mind and just want us to reassure you

I’m on my 2nd isf and only thing I really spent my money on was mods 1st one got total not by me long story lol but you won’t regret it just gotta keep up with maintenance like service intervals and fluid changes and you’ll b good and also wear and tear things like motor mounts and brakes and rotors and if you ask people on the isf section I believe a lot of people that owns isf like myself can chime in and help you
