I agree that new cars are STUPID expensive. Where is all this money coming from keep these prices on the rise. I fear unless I want to drive an appliance there will be no more new cars in my life. Well maybe if i find a rich partner. =) |
The GTI aside, part of my rationale for pulling the trigger on the M3 was its end of production, the high risk of no more MT M3's, and the fact that all cars are F'n expensive. Oh, and the whole Euro Delivery/trip of lifetime thing. But at least that is a 4-door car that I could use a lot.
The justification goes south quickly on an expensive, occasional car. I wish I could get those early 981S's for $30k. You'd think one could given their age, but nope.
What I need to do, is keep my eyes open for a high-mileage, mechanically sound 981. That strategy worked well with the 997TT and Miata. I don't drive them much, so the depreciation drop to a minimum and running costs are low. That will be a tough find. Boxsters seem to have increasingly low miles.
