Their quality was *always* shit. It’s like the ghosts of the GM workers who originally worked in the Freemont factory inhabit the company. Even Toyota couldn’t exorcise the demons of that place, and it’s spread throughout all of Tesla.

Note that there is nothing unusual about the Italians opening a criminal investigation of any accident resulting in loss of life. SOP over there.

Diesel is easy to extinguish, that’s the difference. Don’t be dense. Elon is never going to love you back.

IMHO, a nearly-new used car is almost never enough cheaper than a properly-discounted new car. Either buy new exactly the way you want it, or well-depreciated. Especially true when you are looking at premium cars that are highly configurable to taste. 

It manages to be anonymous and ugly at the same time. But that goes for all of the VW/Bentleys, IMHO.

I don’t love the color, but there is no universe in which I would buy a modern Billionaire’s Codpiece hyper-stupid car over one of these classics.

Nice to see that Security Theatre is not just an American phenomenon.

They were like spaceships. These kids need to realize that this car replaced the Fairmont, which was just a slightly modernized Grenada.

I assume that the back registration only matters if you are keeping it in California?

Every Republican accusation is a confession.

How about a regular 3-series wagon without all the hur-dur bullshit? I would really like to be able to replace the one I bought new in 2011, and I do not have that much need for speed.

That will be the person who buys it used after the lease is up for the first owner’s problem. 

And these things are just too damned big and heavy to take much off-road anyway!

Any car will last as long as you are willing to spend money on it. <shrug>

Nice price all day long for one of these with very low miles for the age in very, very nice shape. Even if it isn’t the “perfect” enthusiast spec, the reality is that an e46 ZHP with this miles and condition would be on BAT for twice the price, and an M3 even more. Just being a low-miles *stick shift* car in this…

It’s the difference between sport and non-sport suspension. Which you could also get on the sedan.

Exactly, the delivery cost is just an excuse.

And Hell, Michigan.

And cars in the supply chain chaos after a global pandemic. Funny how that all works.

I like the cut of your jib.
