I know, but I'm very busy right now to deal with that. I'll give it until Mid June.

As a potential buyer, I'll also chime in that that's a JCW in cherry condition, there is some collector value to that. I'm not saying it's a better car. But FC's price is in line with the market, if he had been too cheap on autotrader, it would have been swooped faster.

Now that I've argued my case, perhaps I'll make the leap. We just don't know what VW is going to do about C.'s Golf TDI. We also don't know if we need to replace it at the same level of car. She is finishing her PhD later this year so her 75mi/day commute will likely drop off. So this may just be the ticket. If her TDI does end up getting fixed, we run the risk of having bought an extra car if we jump the gun on FC's.

"Sold." Got a large cash deposit today. It gets picked up tomorrow with the balance.

Congrats

Congrats.

This pretty much guarantees that in about three-four weeks we'll be needing a car, relatively urgently. I just couldn't pull the trigger without knowing that for sure and risking having too many cars.

I understand. It actually got picked up last night. It really hang around longer than I thought. I let it go for less than I wanted, but I really needed the space. Still go ta lot more than I would have at trade in.

If I had to guess I would say ED on a ZCP M3 in spring of 2017 or 2018.

Part of me just really wants a used Boxster S but my wife doesn't care for that idea. She thinks we are better off spending more on a more frequently used car than on a toy.

But she needs to settle into her new job before I can even talk of new cars.

Wasn't this car officially replaced by E-Golf? The M3/Porsche perservating is in reference to Turbo replacement, right?
