It's a beautiful car.

Once again, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, no! You will be sad to let this one go and when the time comes to replace it, something "better" will end up costing you more in the end. (My selling my zhp, then getting an ultimately unsatisfactory old 528i comes to mind.)

Of course, I do financial stuff differently than some folks (always purchases cars in cash). So if I can't afford the car purchase, I don't have it in the first place, thus there is no issue of payment management. But really, this will be a loss.

Good thing is that your price is high enough that it is unlikely to be hit quickly.

BTW, I spent part of today with an e93m3, yes the 'vert is weaker framed and heavier (and somehow this time around I felt it). But, really, it is no match for the 987S in daily use or for entertainment value. The gearing felt wrong, super short 1st & 2nd. Much less torquey around town, you really have to rev the crap out of it, and only then it sounds like an awesome, exotic engine (and yes, my friend averages about 9mpg's in and around NYC). Turn in is very good, and in the end as great as it is, the porsche is much more special.

I understand and agree. But starting in Ocotber I will drive it so little it will be a total waste.

Ummm


No it won't

Every once in a while, you will get a day or two in Feb or March when you will be the envy of everyone you drive past.

It has nothing to do with the weather.

What I really meant was, it will always be this, no mater how much you drive it. I understand your need for something that has more seats.

JMHO that if you can swing it, you should hold onto it for a while. How much could it possibly loose in value??

Yeah, all of this is true--and the other downside of this is because the M3 is mostly about the engine and you have to really wind it out to get to the place where it makes the magic happen, you do things in the M3 that you'd never do in the Porsche. At least I do. The Porsche is quick but quick is only part of the story. The M3 is smash you across the mouth fast and that Mr. Hyde moment is really the beginning and the end of what the car is about. So, you find yourself sideways in second in the M3, or shifting hard into third at redline at speeds that would get you thrown into the slammer, and you wonder...WTF am I doing?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If it came down to Porsche + (even used) 328 or 330 or just an M3, I'd pick the former all day long, every time. Even if I got to drive the Porsche for an hour or so only once a week, I'd still make that choice.
