The Used Car Market Will Crash

If you have a spare car sitting in your driveway, consider selling it as soon as possible.

I keep thinking I should sell my 2, and then I suspect I’d end up spending twice to three times as much as I’d get to fill the pleasure car gap. So, it stays.

I really need to unloaded my E90 and quite possibly the E39.

If I knew I could get a Boxster for MSRP, I’d strongly consider selling the M3.

Even if the G87 turns out to be all that I will not pay inflated markups. I hear folks getting deals on the new M240i’s (MSRP or below) so maybe not out of the question. I am gtg until this madness ends at the moment.

SCA would the E39 sale contribute to the G87 purchase or are you Pcar mesmerized now??

=)

I am locked in at MSRP for the G87, nothing unusual as that is generally what our local BMW center retails M cars for and has for the better part of twenty plus years. Allegedly new customers are now receiving a addendum on all M cars.

The E39 has zero dealings in regards to the acquisition of the G87. That is if I follow through… Reality, the M Tech is probably not going anywhere anytime soon unless someone throws a number at me that I am willing to live with. I am not in love with the car so I do not plan on it becoming a permanent fixture.

Edit: In the event that I back out of the G87 a manual 991.1 C2S may enter at some point. The 997.2 is not going anywhere, it is here to stay.

They do. Indirectly. It’s the Audi S5 cabrio.
