Thinking about a new car

[fantomas]

So I almost had plans of not buying a car this year (i buy about 1 new one a year, 2006 was a special year in which i bought 2). But because of the prices of cars these days and the fact that tommy thinks he's a bigger baller than me, I've been thinking for a while about one of these:
mmm (http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&car_id=255536405&dealer_id=63608509&car_year=2005&rdm=1231479522642&model=M3&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=1999&keywordsfyc=&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=200&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&showZipError=n&first_record=176&make=BMW&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=06416&advanced=&end_year=2007&pager.offset=175&doors=&transmission=&max_price=&cardist=72&rdpage=thumb)

I wouldn't be able to get it on the salary I make now... but if things change soon i see one of these in my future. Normally I'd say the e36 is my favorite body style, but i looovvee the e46 m3 (hate the regular 3 series my2000+)

I'd do it if you can afford it Scott.

If I'm in the country after I graduate/move/find a new job, I'll be thinking of the same thing along with the 335i coupe or one of the new turbo Z4s as a daily with the WRX being stripped and rebuilt for the track. Need something a bit more luxurious for everyday use and for the less performance-inclined people I know/will be meeting.

[fantomas]

its one of my fiance's goals to have matching BMWs so i have her support... I think I may hold off this year, sell the mr2, and wait till spring 2010 after i turn 25 (insurance drop, although a 2005 M3 is only $600/year more to insure than a 2002 MR2 Spyder, which really, is not too too much considering it has like 3x's the HP..

[tommy]

one of my officers here is selling his 2003 M3 with 70k on it for 12k fully loaded car is located in nj

[fantomas]

[fantomas]

I've always loved the older 635CSI's...

[Bajapat]

I'm sure you can find an 03.. but then there is no turbo :(

[fantomas]

I'm partial to the little older M coupes and roadsters for some reason :-)

as far as i know there is no "midnight blue". theres leguna seca blue, topaz blue, and mystic blue.

anyways tommy... thats clearly a black convertible... check your screen colorz

[tommy]

then its mistic blue sorry he said a dark blue color so i looked up midnight blue and that what it came up as

[fantomas]

pics would be helpful

[tommy]

well its almost 11 pm here so im not going to run down to his trailer to get pictures you can just wait

[fantomas]

yea i suppose i'm in no rush.. seeing how its the middle of winter here...

[iwantmysti]

Drool....that car is beautiful. Wish I could have one of those

[JHawley]

e30 m3 or nothing. :colbert:

werd!

you two suck... the usdm one blew donkey cock. if you liked the euro one then i'd wouldn't be so harsh!

I've always loved the older 635CSI's...
cool cars but just wait to things go wrong on that one...

[fantomas]

so tommy, anything yet?

[alyssa]

nice choice!!! i like those cars.

[fantomas]

I emailed the guy on auto trader and I think it's a scam. Oh well. I'll have to save up this year

[fantomas]

Well, was also thinking about an STi.. and did some quick quotes on geico for the insurance rates.. boy was i shocked
for a 2004 BMW M3 Coupe - $735.40 for 6 months
for a 2004 Subaru WRX Sti - $1,048.50 for 6 months :eek:

that's re-god-damn-diculous. Same coverages. As a baseline, I'm currently w/ traveler's which I'm paying $952 for 6 months for the OBS and MR2

[Jubert69]

My WRX is $700/Yr, makes sense I think.

[fantomas]

that it costs less to insure a european car that costs 2x to replace as a japanese car with about the same power?

[fantomas]

i'm not talking about the actual price, i'm referring to the fact that the sti cost 33% more to insure than an m3

[turbo_turtle]

It's the risk that you are insuring, not the value. STi's get into accidents far more often than M3's per quantity sold.

My '06 STI is about $1200 per 6 months to insure. I get about $150 off that if I have the WRX insured at the same time, which is $600 something per 6 months.

~Dan

[ScrapinSTi]

My WRX is $700/Yr, makes sense I think.

But is it in your name or your parents? :lmao:

[Jubert69]

But is it in your name or your parents? :lmao:

Well you do the math :D

[ScrapinSTi]

That would be a yes. :rolleyes:

[fantomas]

wellllll....... reconsidering a new car.. not an M3 though... I'll have to sell the cars I have now.... we'll see what I'm going to get (shhhh if you know :scott: )

[snowman87]

I wanna know! :(

[07 STI UGM]

I pay 650.00 for 6 months for my 07 STI. (Progressive) 500 deductible,
100,000 300,000 liability coverages. oh yea im 29 years old.

[iwanbo]

Wow, that's not bad for insurance cost.

[ScrapinSTi]

kinda funny... i'm looking to buy another car for a DD... looking at a 92 civic.. if i buy the civic, make it my DD on my insurance, my insurance will DROP $30 A MONTH... lol.. its $180 cheaper for 6 months to insure two cars rather than one.

[JHawley]

noah, we seriously need to push our cars off a huge fucking cliff.

[snowman87]

Screw it, just report them stolen then drive them around like you stole it and crash into each other then run away. Problem solved. :devil:

My buddy did the same thing, bought an 05 330ci and insured his 87 325i as his daily and was paying 50 a month less for both that he was for 1.

[07 STI UGM]

[07 STI UGM]

[ScrapinSTi]

$1400 for a 92 civic that will get me 40+mpg... or what... $5k for an OBS wagon that is turbo, and knowing my luck I would grenade the tranny on?

[fantomas]

Wellll... May need a new shortblock. Tranny is fine though

[07 STI UGM]

Im sure you could find an l for 1400 lol 40MPg well you will have to get out and push half the time LOL

[ScrapinSTi]

[topend]
