If you're looking to get the car to get a nice daily driver you should research the car further.

If you're looking for anything to replace the STI, NSX, S2000 or Evo, as far as having fun, keep on looking.

I have a real good friend who works in our BMW Service Department. With the fact that it's such a new car there aren't really too many issues on the service side. The major issue that he is nervous about is electrical. With me working for the dealership I can have him do service for a good cost and get the parts at employee cost.

Yeaup, had a contract written for a new condo in Newport News & everything. Long story short, canceled it due to the economy.

I've been talking to Tony about it a little bit, but like I said as it's a newer car there isn't too much info on it yet with maintenance issues.

I've had my fair share of fun vehicles... trying to have something that's a bit more comfortable and luxury. Still have the bike for when I want fun though!

Where did I say a 20 yr old car?? working at a dealership he would most likely come across a great deal on an E36 or E46 M3.

I do love the E30 the best though but thats just me.

Eh, for that kind of cash I'd buy the IS350 that I really want.

from this 24 year old who has been around for a couple years chad. i reccomend finding one car and settle into it. I think the safest thing for you is to get a luxury car and keep it for a couple years. this will give you something fun to drive until the economy stabilizes again.

keep the teg. buy a nice car, this deal you have seems good if you will like the car for a couple years.
