That would be cheaper to own than my car. They've been the same price for 10 years and aren't ever going down.

Unless you drive it... 30k miles in 16 years essentially means that's a car you park and take to the gas station once every 2 months or so.

I don't think a GT3 can go below $50k with any amount of miles, as long as it works and the title is clean.

That particular car is an epic spec. Correct seats, correct color, and correction options.

Only two issues with this:

Fronting $60K of capital.
Getting :tits: understanding/on board with "spending so much" on a car

That's why I don't have a GT3. It's otherwise the perfect enthusiast car. They come basically "done" from the factory, with fully adjustable suspension and everything. Don't need any modzzz and don't depreciate.

They're also classed competitively in autox. It's what I logically should own.

I wonder what if any kind of financing is available on a 2004 vehicle. $60K cash is kind of a lot to park...

What's better parking 60k that will be 70k in 5 years... Or buying a new car for 35k that will be 15 k in the same 5 years...

I am annoyed with myself that it took me THIS long to figure it out. I think anything I'll be getting next will certainly keep that in mind.

:notwrong: but I go back to what I said before:
a. you have to have $60K cash you're willing to throw down
b. :tits: has to be cool with it and most people "don't understand" that logic. My C5 has actually been pretty damn cheap to own as it was already in the bottom 1/3 of it's depreciation curve when I bought it... unlike my :mk6: :disgust:

That is some real :plac: shit :disgust: .

Once we're settled into the new place I may pitch offing the 328 for a more unique DD to :tits: . Ill be way closer to work and now also can work remotely, so the need for a "new" car isn't really there so much. I may suggest we trade in the 328 for something new for her and then I'll buy something a bit more interesting/~$10K for myself. I just can't seem to let go of the :poorvette: even though that would probably make more sense/cents.

What is she in now?
The whole work/car sitch is what caused my last 3 switches... I got the TDI because i was driving 25k miles a year @$5 a gallon in 2010... then the Z because i drove 5k miles a year due to new job in the city... now back to whatever due to another job change.

She has a 2012 Fusion with like 150k miles. We may just keep it for years, :notsure: She wants a small SUV and likes the :jeep: brand so I am hoping we wind up with a Renegay.

Why not compass ? They got 10k on the hood here and they look a bit more luxurious.

We would look at both but I prefer the Renegade, it looks cooler, has more space inside, better colors, etc. Both are fine though. She may just want to keep the :scrooge: wagon which is fine too.
