I'm starting to waffle about selling the M3 again.

I have my name down for Spring 2023 (Euro - hopefully) delivery of a Boxster GTS with the local dealer and he ("Mark Webber" - LOL) thinks that's not a problem.

If that is the case and there is some level of confidence I can get a car then, maybe it makes sense to sell the M3 high this Spring. Carvana ($57k) is $2k higher than in September. Autotrader has cars like mine with more miles listed for $70k.

My warranty runs out in July, so waiting until later this year could impact resale more significantly.

Meanwhile, my wife suggested that I trade the M3 for a nice ND Miata. If there is no Boxster in 2023 I still have a roadster, and if there is a Boxster I will likely enjoy the ND more than the M3 in the interim and lose less in the process.
