Bruce, the Cobra is an interesting car in it's own right but doesn't drive like a BMW drives... different cars. Preston should have some fun with this car though...

I think in the long run you're right, Preston might realize this might not be the car he wants for the long run but I may be wrong Best of luck my friend!!!

Charlie, Preston's plan right now is to buy his brother's half of the 330xi (I'll retain the other half ownership of that car) and drive that as his DD, he wants the Cobra as his fun/weekend car. However, he's still in college, working part time, planning to finance a large part of this Cobra, and I think he's just going to realize the hard way that ownership/maintenance of 2 cars at his income level isn't easy or cheap.

I made more than he does when I was employed and STILL could barely afford to maintain my only car, the ZHP.

If he has no other bills then maybe it's doable, but this is a slippery slope.

Mods, pls close this thread, the car sold today.

Preston bought Brett's half of the 330xi today so both boys still have half ownership in BMWs. But I fear the 03/04 Cobra hunt has just been unleashed, he's determined to learn the tough way.
