This what I dont understand. Your OB 6MT ZHP was the perfect car for your situation. You put a lot of work into to make it look nice and runs good. And it was already paid off. Thought you only got rid of it to invest the money. Should have kept it throughout your college years, and build some credit while you're in school. After school is done, you can go after the M3. That would be a better investment than buying a M3 now with high interest rates. Plus whatever hidden issues come with the M3.
But what's done is done. I'm glad you were able to get an loan. Just FYI about the PPI, I believe Elk Grove BMW does it for free. I know a guy took his car there for a free PPI.
I dont think the issues with having a high mileage M3 is the mechanical issues, but resale value. Resale value sucks major when you have a high mileage (150+k) performance car like a M3. If will be tough to sell unless you list it for cheap enough a poor high school kid can buy it to impress his pals.
Yes, but Charlie's case is a bit different because Charlie got there himself and he knows what the treatment was like. It is definitely proof that the car can be strong after many, many miles, however.
I did invest some of the money already, and I actually start getting my first returns on that investment on Friday. My old ZHP was a great car, no doubt about it. I do miss it. However, I do still think it was the right thing to do in my case for a multitude of reasons, the biggest being salvage title depreciation.
Yeah, for sure. One of the things in my head.

Guy just relisted the PY M3 for 15k on CL. Hopefully he still has it in 2 weeks when I can sign a loan but we'll see.

Today is the 27th. Do you mean he wants to sell by end of August ?
I see. Hope things work out for you.
