Will buying a nice car help me?

Get a car that matches your personality. If you're young, get something cheap and modify it to make it loud and obnoxious, if you're older get a car and make it fast, but a "nice" car is kinda boring and will typically attract boring women, it'll also give you something to value over the girl, adding to the amount she has to work to get your attention.

Or get all of those things in one and buy a Miata, because

Miata Is Always The Answer

You can buy a nice car with cash for under $10,000. Look for older luxury models that age well.

I bought an older model 2 seater roadster convertible from a luxury brand with 75k miles for $9,000 cash. But it aged well and people who aren't car savy don't realize that its an older model, they think its a newer model.

Don't buy a nice car thinking it will help you get women or help your confidence. Do it for you. That's what I did. I needed a new car, my beater I drove for years finally petered out. I was about to buy a 2 year old used car for $15k cash and 10k miles, but decided to be exciting and bought the roadster convertible instead. It's been 2 years now with only one problem(had to replace the alternator) and I love it.

Whatever you do, do not finance or lease cars. Buy used with cash.

Yes a newer car is a signal to women that you have your shit together. That being said many people buy newer cars that don't have their shit together and then they hurt their long term finances. The girl ends up leaving because you are a guy with a new car but shitty financial knowledge, no house, no investments, etc. Watch this Video

Buying a new car to impress a women is also a bluepill mindset. It's a mindset that says once I get the girl everything will be perfect, my life will be complete, my car and house and clothes are to get women. No, after you get the girl you still have a car payment and future expenses to worry about and now you have a women to pay for as well. Lot's of guys land quality plates without nice cars. Game is cheaper. Buy a new car when you've truly earned it and buy it for yourself.

if you can comfortably afford it, then yeah, why not? It won't hurt anything. But if you're talking about paying it off slow with shit ass payments for over a few years, i'd say it's not worth it at all

Depends on where you live. If you live in the metropolis, then no you won't need one. I know for a fact that around where I live, your car is a indicator of your status. Sure you can get laid with a shitbox if it fits your budget. but if you're an auto enthusiast like myself, AND your budget can afford something sexy and expensive. Women are consumers and they add up your smv level by material things AS WELL. Mr lifteveryday aint gonna go far if hes taking the bus or driving a shiy box. But it all depends on the type of women you want.

By all means go for a nice Benz, BMW, Audi ONLY if you can afford one dude. Its a confidence booster and a huge symbol of status depending on your location. Plus life is short and we live and learn.

Again, it doesnt really matter what you drive, as long as you have something that makes YOU feel good driving it and fits your monthly bank budget.

Side note, all cars have issues, but it sure as hell beats picking your date up on the city bus/bike. Trust me on that.
