Carolinas A Better Place to Be

Tough decision, but there is a silver lining. Selling my S.

I haven't had her that long, but my family situation is such that I am just wasting money paying on the S. I drive her maybe 4 times a month since I have to drive my daughter to school every day.

Now, here's the good news: My wife wants to also get rid of her Celica. Getting rid of two cars means replacing them with one COOL car. I just got a verbal OK to get this:



Since it has a back seat, I'm good for toting around my little one. Jenn will drive the Explorer to work.

Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! I am starting my M3 search next week around Charlotte. I am hoping I can pick up a pre-owned 2001 or maybe 2002.

So, if anyone is looking for a Red '01 S2000 with around 16,600 miles on it (brand new Michelin Pilot sports too), give me a shout.

Nice choice, Brett! A beautiful dark-gray convertible M3 parked next to me at Mellow Mushroom last week, and the guy could not stop talking about how much he admired the S2k. I returned the favor, as the M3 is an awesome ride.

I won't tell Ron you're selling your S...he's been talking about getting one of his own!

Very nice, but aren't the new M3s having engine problems?

I am very jealous. Best of luck with the M3.

Now, hopefully someone who buys your S2000 will attend some meets!

Nice choice.

I am going to try and see one in person and take a drive. I am not sure how the market is right now for the M3, as in are the dealers refusing to let one go for MSRP. I can buld a nice one for about 48K but I am wondering if the dealers are going to screw me. It might be a long search.

Sheila,

If Ron wants the car let me know. I actually thought about that but I was like "Nah, he wouldn't do that." Maybe, just maybe....

Hey Brett, fly out to Miami and drive an M3 back! While vacationing in Miami in late September, we visited several "exotic" dealers. All with decent pricing on M3's too! Plus, no waiting!





MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmM3!
