Hey I think I saw an ad for this car on Craigslist. The description somewhere along the page was "Someone is going to get a very special S2000." IIRC

2008 M3 sounds nice... But BMW is bringing out their new 3 series... the 335i coupe is going to be AWD with 300 hp and 300 tq... It looks more promising than the current M3s around... Did I forget to mention that its twin tubo'd.

I say keep it for a couple more years and enjoy it. But if you have to pay bills off then I would go that route first.

As for a new car, keep your options open. SUVs are great and so are family sedans like the M3, Mercedes, and Volvo.

I see you in another S2000 in a year.

Good luck.

maybe in Canada. In US it will be priced in the 60s just like the RS4. For comparison, the M5 MSRP is 81k, the M6 is 96 so no way in hell the M3 would be over 100k.

I want to know how you make $10k on a S2000 in cali. I thought you couldnt give them away there.

The guy i bought mine from was from Cali. He tried to sale it before he moved to Austin and couldnt give it away. So needless to say he gave it to me way cheap in Austin. But id be lucky to make $4k on selling it.

I have to question making 10k on a car that sells for around 20k on average.

They do say theres a sucker born every minute. In Cali i thnk it might be every second.

Maybe he had 10k left over after paying the rest off? Say purchase in 04 for $22k, made 15k in payments, sell today for 17k = 'make 10k'.. I dunno

True but thats not making $10k.

Maybe he bought 10K worth of mods and sold his car for $10k more then he bought it for. And then paid off his credit card he used to purchase all those mods which was 10k.

But i call that breaking even not making 10k

He didn't make 10k on his car and he didn't sell it. It got repossessed because he couldn't make his payments. and that 2008 M3, yea right.
