Not a bad point (and I considered backing out of the sale at various points). I might still regret it strongly.
1. Now that I finally have a dedicated rwd sports car, I would like awd
- I need to drive through snowstorms for the best skiing
- I'm sick of carrying wheels/tires up to my apartment (no elevator)
2. I plan to drive the CayS quite a bit. This leaves 3 to 5000 miles/year for the second car. I can do that in a car with higher mileage, further along its depreciation curve.
Yes, I may be swayed by just the right rwd bmw (be it a classic or a 5er or sth) and go back to doing two sets of wheels, but I'd rather not. I started out with a 10ish budget and seeing what's out there I may increase to the high teens. That's still 10k less than what I sold my zhp for.
