What do you guys think about it?

Saw the Saleens at NAIAS. They look very good, other than the giant Saleen banner which could quickly be removed.

The one problem with that car is that those wheels are 20s. I don't want to have to buy 20" tires.
i'm projecting that there will be a mustang SVT in your future soon. whenever that m3 lease runs out.
There will not be an SVT Mustang in production when his M3 lease runs out...hence, his problems.
oh.

how about a stopgap used car that has already reached a depreciation plateau that you could turn around and sell at no loss?

plenty of fun cars fit this bill plus one would know it's a highly temporary situation. 964s, 993s, 996s (who are we kidding, these will depreciate forever....), a c5 (okay, these are still falling), a cobra type R. i have not leased from BMW FS in quite awhile --they don't extend leases at all?

'04 CTS-V. Probably still depreciating, but the biggest hit is gone.

There's a 6 speed C4 for sale around the corner for $11K. No idea about mileage or condition.
