m3gtr

Point taken Merli. Theres no need to get so worked up over it. That "drivel" was a comment in reply to you and you alone. Don't try and drag others into this. You've stated your point and ive taken it into account. While i appreciate your reply, you've no need to get so worked up over it. As an M3 owner yourself, you have more right than many others to be commenting on this but lets get this straight...I was asking for advice. Yes some of it i didn't like but sense is sense is sense.

oh i got one for you, dont you worry.

yeah at my expense. lol, i just pwnd myself.

Noted...theyre a bitch to find. okay. So M3, 335i, R34, Evo wagon. Thats the final 4.

Heres an interesting page.. 30 of them currently up for sale... http://www.goo-net.com/cgi-bin/goojp/used/summary_w.cgi Take not of the bullshit premiums on them...

"Over there" as in Japan over there or Australia over there?

I found this on Goo-net. its the same car that Sewid wrote on a few days ago... Hot like habanero. http://www.goo-net.com/used/spread/goo/15/...0080329001.html

for example... http://www.goo-net.com/used/spread/goo/13/...0080324001.html

lol, yep, heading south fast. Cheers for the input tho, Ivan. The 335i coupe is out of reach. The 4 door 335i is within reach though. I gotta ask you though, whats your take on this "noones going to buy a grey import BM" stuff? If i go for a beemer..well, what do you reckon?

lol, done deal. all i need now is a gif, lol

that chop is going to come back to haunt me some day, i know it...

lol, you idiot. whoring my poll? What next baron of mayhem>? reckon ill turn a profit on the one in the second pic?

LOL! m3gtr hasnt had enough of ze punishment!

lol at the vote for the colt!

Lets put this to a vote shall we?

cereal, im not looking for everyones "approval". I don't need others to be happy with the car i choose. I have to be happy with the car i choose. You missed the point. Which car is the right car? I know just the thing!...

I dont really give a stuff if he is or not, that was just a thought i had. Obviously, an erroneous one. What about the other things i mentioned?

Is this more sensible? http://www.goo-net.com/used/spread/goo/17/...0080326001.html

Yeah, he has. actually, all you guys have been super. Im a little nervous about this, Richo. The last car i had was a P.O.S. Ken can fill you in on all the details about that one!

Ive been humbled. Taken it all with a pinch of salt. Merli, its not like I'm not listening to people, i am. You said you don't know if the car you mentioned sold after those 6 months you kept your eye on it. It very well may have but you cant confirm this. And the guy may have walked away with a big wad of notes stuffed into his designer briefcase. Then again, maybe he lost his home over it though i doubt that very much. I got the slightest suspicion that you were in fact jealous that i could get my hands on one for half the price you paid but id like to tell my self that's rubbish. I was already factoring in the wait and 6 months or more is what i am expecting more or less. You said that i was way overestimating the prices of an M3. Please show me where. Every car i have looked at in the E46 range was priced between 80 and 120 thousand dollars. It sounds to me like you are of the opinion that no one is going to want the car. The thing is..only 1 person has to. So mate, why don't you do me a favour and enlighten me. Please tell me what you paid for yours and why you didn't buy the grey import. I'm all ears, contrary to what you believe. Yes, yes...TVR, what was i thinking? I like the GTR. I like it very much but the bottom line of this whole exercise is to ENSURE i wont lose any money and i figured a Euro was something that would facilitate this. Laurence, you're right when you say it's within my budget. They are. My biggest question is will it retain its value. To be more specific, they aren't exactly rare, desirable yes but rare? For some reason i can see it taking quite a while to sell. K. Just for arguments sake, lets say i buy an R34 GTR. I pay 4million to get it on the road. shipping, taxes etc etc etc, and the car owes me upwards of 60 thousand if not much more than that. Would it be fair to say that, at the very least, i will walk away from the car after my time with it is up and not have lost a penny? Because, if the answer is no, then it obviously isnt the desirable, rare and valuable car it needs to be to warrant its purchase. If the answer is yes, well...i don't see any reason to wait another day to start looking for one. I remember Nick as saying at one point that the Evolution wagon would be a good choice and i tend to agree with him. I see them regularly for around 3.5. It seems to check boxes the GTR doesn't but then again maybe this is just the idiot in me talking.
