OK, Tough Choices... Sell the RX-8 And get???
- Thread starter Revlis
- Start date
I have a buddy selling his SVO Cobra. 600+hp to the rear wheels for around $24K Lots of work done to it and all by the dealership (with the exception of the frame connectors I welded on for him) Dunno if you were thinking new only or not. All ya gotta do is fly back to Tampa and drive home
Well here is what I really want... Or really damn close. This particular car has me thinking hard about my financial priorities...
Low Mile 2004 M3
Yeah, But still more than I really want to pay...

Actually... Yeah I guess I kinda am. When it comes to cars anyway. Once it comes to looking at the car and the payments, I usually sit there for a minute and think... (Now what the hell else could I do with an extra $100 a month) or $200... Ya know?(BA BUSA @ Oct. 29 2006,23:14) You really are a cheap Bastid huhdamn the torpedoes...spend some cheddar...step up
...go for it dude
Then I start the game of TO HELL WITH IT. I'm buying a Used Toyota Tercel and be done with it.
Cause ya know, just like a couple of folks here mentioned, cars are not investments. I'm loosing money one way or another, so why intentionaly throw MORE money away than you need to actually just get around town?
I've got a Busa allready if I want to go fast, so WHY NOT keep it simple?
I dunno, then I go and get into an older POS car and I am reminded that "Oh yeah, new cars or fun and nice to be in".
The M3 is sort of the "Perfect Answer" to my automotive question. Fast enough to be fun, reliable enough for a daily driver. Subtle enough to NOT be police bait, and sporty enough for track days.
All the while maintaining it's value. Hell if I get into an M3 I could very well see myself keeping it. Making it a pretty permanant fixture, and with BMW at least I know it will last.
But still... $40k for a freaking 2 door car? WTF?
Then I go back to the beginning.
Am I the only one out here that goes round and freaking round with these sorta decisions?
Well You know I am not going to spend Corvette Money...(TruWrecks @ Oct. 30 2006,18:27) If you ask me, you know what I'd suggest.
Instead, get the Mustang GT and put a Magnason blower on it. I know that's what you want to do anyway!
Do you happen to remember who's Mustang that was or where to find him on the web? The guy from Arlington with the Saleen blower on his mustang?
BUT ya know the BMW is still pulling at my heart strings...
I'm going to slow down though, and NOT get wrapped around the post... I expect this to be a long process, and I'll probably wrap it up after Christmas sometime... Getting too close to christmas to be buying a new car for myself...
Rev, check out the Saleen on our web site. It's the S281 supercharged! MSRP is $56 K, but if you have an interest, I can make a deal on it in the $48 K range. www.billwoodsford.com

Rev These are the guys that tuned my brother's 03 Cobra. There is a pic of it in Customer's Cars. This site will give you a good overall idea about the possibilities and some good real world numbers.
