Hey guys, do you think that it is worth it for a teen (18) to work 2 years on 2 fulltime jobs at the same time to save up money and buy a GT-R. It's my dream and I'm trying my best to achieve it, but don't know what's right or wrong at this time.

Possibly, but as many here are going to tell you, money is needed after just the purchase of the car.
Nothing about this car is inexpensive.

Agree, but I don't plan on daily driving it after purchasing, which I believed will save me tons of money

Where do you plan to keep it?
As a Teen, do you own/rent a house? Do you have other funds for that and costly insurance, etc.?
Look carefully at your total picture...now and the next 2 years, as you say.

I own 2 houses, the parking slot is no problem, also I live rent free, so that's a huge financial freedom for me. I don't smoke, drink or go to clubs.
You have a Bulgarian flag. Assuming you do live there. Cost of living is low but so is the income. GTR prices are comparable to the US. You probably did the math already, which is how you came up with 2 years with 2 full time jobs. Only you can decide if it's worth it for you.

even then, don’t forget maintenance.

Difference between “buying” and “owning”. Also many will likely flame you for just being 18 - typically an irresponsible age when it comes to high power vehicles that leads to very poor (and costly) choices. But if you are working this hard to make your dream happen, then perhaps all that work will also help show some restraint. Good luck!

If those 2 jobs pay very well then sure that would work. If jobs are not high paying, I would just work 1 full time and go to some training/school to learn a skill to get that high paying job. Its not just the initial cost of a GT-R, you got to realize they cost 5x-10x more to maintain than your typical car.
