I will agree to this tax hike if, and only IF, a federal mandate is put into place that no state may charge sales tax on used vehicles. That tax was paid when it was new.

Who wants this car?  The styling is blah, it is slow, likely handles/brakes like shit and probably rides the same.  There isn’t anything fun about it.  It isn’t cool enough looking for very many people to even ask what it is, as no one cares.  Might as well drive a Pinto.

Sure about that 57% loss for the BMW.  It is currently a 55.5% NP win...

Total cost of ownership should be considered, even ignoring the initial cost. Figure out how long you REALLY will keep the car. Look at pricing trends, expected maintenance costs, mods you will probably do, etc.

Love my Vette. The C1 was the lightest of them at around 2900lbs. Excluding the C1, mine is the lightest made (‘06 C6Z...less insulation than the ‘07+) at around 3130lbs.  Probably a little lighter now with all the mods and makes a lot more power than stock...

There are better tools for the job. Obviously, torque is one of them.

CP simply because it is a rotary.  Those unreliable, fart sounding, torqueless, rebuild every 50k pieces of crap just need to die.  Had this had a non-rotary swap, NP at an even higher price.  As is, no way.

The N55 doesn’t have the power potential like the N54. And many of the “fixed” issues of the N55 have been corrected on the N54 cars now anyway (HPFP, injectors, coil packs, etc.).

1994 Firebird Formula with 5 point harness and 6-point cage.  Nitrous car but stock internals at the time; I didn’t have to drive it too long as a daily that way but long enough.

My first car, bought in 1995, was a 1984 Renault Alliance. It was Motor Trend’s 1983 car of the year.

POS is putting it nicely. It proves that Motor Trend was clearly paid off by Renault.

Wait, so driving in traffic when I don’t have to and listening to terrestrial radio (something I haven’t done in almost 20 years).  Yeah, hard pass.

I’m now past the statute of limitations. When I first started dating my wife, I took her for a joy ride in my friend’s (and roomate at the time) modded C5 Vette. 381 stroker, decent cam, head work, etc. First setup he had on this car (is now a 1000+ RWHP monster built for road course work).

We were on the outerbelt

732k - that is 500k over the base cost of the car.

This is a tuner car. There is no way, shape, or form anywhere near that amount of money is invested into this car. I’m not seeing/reading anything close to that figure.

Let’s pretend...and this is a BIG pretend, that the bodywork had 100k into it.  Let’s pretend there

Stock, that’s a 15k SUV all-day, not hard to find. You have a set of Rockstar wheels, likely a cheap ON3 turbo kit and a bit of rattle can work. Maybe 8k in aftermarket parts, and that’s being generous. This guy wants full retail + 100% of aftermarket parts + his labor for this thing.

CP. That’s not even considering

This is filed incorrectly.  It is under NPOND, but doesn’t show up under the Nice Price link where most get to your postings.  I found it under “Latest”.  This happened one time last year as well.

At 60MPH, that’s 6.666 hours for 400 miles.  You can just pee before you leave and hold it; not really a big deal.

Ask Toyota about the Tundra.  Same truck since 2007...

You own an xA.  Pretty much every BMW > that thing.

I just bought a Vette last week, didn’t really discuss it with the wife, other than told her I might be picking one up while traveling for work if the car was as described.  My money, my car, she didn’t give two shits about it.

E46 never got a turbo 6.
