Square Wheels Posted September 4, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2021 I went car looking last weekend. I have an awesome car that I love, but fell in love with this beauty. M550i Far too much tech and too many features to list. Some of the coolest: 523hp 0 - 60 in 3.6 Top speed regulated to 155 Massaging seats Insanely fast I can afford the payments, but mine will be paid off in two more payments, I tripled up and will have it paid in just over 2 years. It will be nice to be payment free for a while. Maybe I'll look again in the spring. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinneR ★ Posted September 4, 2021 Share #3 Posted September 4, 2021 You could probably cut the roof off with a Dremel and make it a convertible like yours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terribly, but I also think about skin cancer as I get older. When I was young, I worked in construction. I was outside about 10 hours a day, year round. Never used a drop of sunscreen, I just got brown. That is a crazy nice car above, a true luxury car and a poor mans super car. It's essentially just a 5 series, with lots of nice stuff, and a 523hp engine. the one I test drove was a 5, it was nice, but sadly it had a 4 cylinder engine. It would have to be ordered. About 2 months. It would need to be ordered, I may think about it in the spring, give me a little bit a cool off period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's a beast of a gas engine car. Those will be gone soon. I heard Mercedes and Audi have stopped making new 8 cylinder cars. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... he'd be stuck stopped or stuck in slowly moving traffic, just like I was when I worked. I'd be the guy in front of him in the Prius... and the 20,000 other cars, SUVs, trucks, etc...

I suspect they were not lying as they were offering a decent amount for my car, and would guarantee the offer price until the new car came in, and I could keep my car until then.

That sounds like a shortage. You're not worried? Panicked? Maybe if you offer them an extra $20k, you can get it now and avoid the line/back-up? If all else looks good, buy it!

Bikeguy Posted September 7, 2021 Share #26 Posted September 7, 2021 Or you can get to 60 mph in 1 second less in a nice SUV. https://www.porsche.com/usa/modelstart/all/?modelrange=macan My daughter has an older plugin hybrid version in white. As long as she stays out of the gas/electric pedal it will get her to work and back burning no gas. And when she wants to GO, it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
