CPO F-Type or a Mustang GT Premium. With the Premier trim, the interior is pretty nice! No, It’s not a Jag, but ample power, no maintenance woes, and can have every option for under 50K. Even available in a convertible!

Foreshadowing for the 2nd #Dougcar???
I run on the street to give me more time to react to a car blowing through a cross walk. Also, uneven sidewalks, softer surface, etc. I take up less room than a bicycle and usually dip in a bit if a car is coming. Whenever I’m behind the wheel of a car and see a road hazard, whether it be a bike, pedestrian, puppy, I…
Good to know, thanks!
I Chipped my tdi at 95k and the car now has 176k running at 28psi. The car is otherwise stock less a pyrometer. The only issues it has is the occasional boost leak and expensive maintaince. I always let the car warm-up / cool down which I beleive prolongs the life of a turbo’d engine. Maybe I got lucky? With any car…
A wise man once told me “there is nothing more expensive than a cheap Porsche”. Plus, I already own one aging German car. Two does not seem like a good idea haha
Talking about a 550 or other manual F-Car appreciating. Didn’t mean for it to sound like I was talking about the m5. I’m an engineer so you’ll have to excuse my lack of simple paragragh structuring skills :p. The E60 is such a terrible car, reliablity wise, I foresee them hitting a near zero number in the future haha.
I’m still looking for one. I had the chance to buy an “ok”, not perfect, 348 back in 2013 for around $40k. I was only one year out of school so my cash reserves were low and I couldn’t find a bank/credit union/guy in an alley to finance anything over 8 years old. I have lost plenty of sleep thinking about how much…
I have been considering the finance route with how crazy these cars are appreciating and how low APR’s are. I was expecting something around 3 but 0.99 is insane. I’ve done a little research and couldn’t really find a loan for that old of a car but I will keep looking. My worry on the E60 is that the car will have no…
Same thing happened to me. I’ve been lusting after a 550 since they were new. When I was in college a nice one was around $70-80k. I had a plan post graduation to work/save/invest for 5 years and buy one. I’m currently 3 years into my plan and still $80k short. Time for a Carmax m5 or 911 I guess.
VAG cars have a weird rubber nipple thing on the sunroof drain lines. They are supposed to help with wind noise but after a few years they get clogged and cause the drains to back up. If you disconnect these, clean them, and pour some water through the drains it will fix the problems for a few years.My family has 4…
I always try to separate the different types of silverware and place them handle up. My thought on the handle up is to prevent the unloader from touching the actual utensil part. Seems slightly more sanitary.
I drove one for a weekend back in December and exactly this. The interior was nice (minus a few details) but the headliner was just crap. Same material you would get in a GM economy car. I can look past the color if a nice material was used. It completely ruined the car for me because I was constantly reminded this…
Please get the Alfa and write about the ownership :D. I’m very tempted to sell both my cars and purchase the 4c in a year or two. My commute is opposite of yours (Southbay to downtown) but you could be good guinea pig for me ;-)
You are my hero.
Do the trucks only come in a convenient 6-pack case or can you buy them individually wrapped?
