Sweet! Let me borrow that Easy button the next time I decide to put a car up for sale. :)

congrats :cool:

It wasn't THAT easy, and I feel I am offering a good price, but I am being pragmatic. I also have the warranty clock working against me.

Still getting ~90% of what I paid (and 95%+ if you exclude sales tax) after the better part of 4 years is not bad. I paid for nothing except fuel and the expel wrap.

Oh well. Maybe next time.

:lol:

While you may have paid nearly nothing for the car, you also barely got to use it. For some reason, this makes me really sad and I don't know why.

First of all plans changed, because life. I've covered the job changes. When I ordered it I had been at the same place for 12+ years and thought I would be a lifer.

Yes, I used too little. Part of that is: Euro delivery itself, severely injured right ankle, and COVID. Those 12k miles, we fun, fast miles.

3k/year is what I drove the Boxster, the Turbo, and until the last year, the Miata. I had to go out of my way to put 17k miles on the E91 in 27 months.

If the car's value had plummeted as predicted when I bought it, I'd keep it. Remember, I am effectively trading it for a GTS.

EDIT: Also recall that http://forums.carmudgeons.com/showth...M3+GTI+commute

I had a chance to have both with >1 year overlap. The GTI is the better commuter. I had the M3 all this time, got most of my money back, and get to buy a better toy with it. I can live with that.

It wasn't a knock at all. Just an observation. Plans are plans and then things happen. Whatever. And you adapt and make new plans. Again, whatever.

Congrats on the Sale, I hope it goes smoothly.

I used to think of cars as what I would want forever but I realized a long time ago no car is forever, it is just for right now ... at least for me, I cannot say the same for lip277 :lol:

Yep. Pretty much come to that conclusion for myself as well. Currently, a long-term hold is 5 to 7 years.

I had vehicular ADHD for a long time, but a combination of a smaller number of choices and increasing satisfaction with what I’ve got has really changed that.

The Models S and Mk VII R were all relative short-timers, but I’m at close to three years on the M3, four years on the Model 3, and just over a dozen on the Porsche and honestly don’t feel a burning need to replace any of them.

If it weren’t for concerns about maintenance on the Model 3 and the lure of the last gas Boxster, I wouldn’t be thinking of any replacements, tbh.

As it is, I can’t think of anything to replace the Tesla with.

LOL - I resemble that remark!!!!

Lets see - The longer serving cars in my garage are.....
Mustang - In family since 1979. Still gathering dust in the shop as I type this.
2002 - 28 years (sold in 2011)
Yukon - 17 years and 275,000 miles (donated in 2017)
F250 - 16 years (and counting)
740iL - Father bought new in 2001, I've had it since 2007 and now with 230,000 miles (or thereabouts)
E9 - 14 years

Jeezzee - I really don't like to get rid of things, do I... LOL
