Well, the AWD tosses some thinking into it. I'm actually trying to help a buddy up North who's not really car versed try and find something similar.
He wants good MPG's, decent power and AWD. Something more upscale. I suggested an A4 to him for the MPG factor. Price is sort of high on that, even used. Also, the G37x is an excellent car. Probably not as big as the SHO but the power is there and it's a Luxury brand.
I didn't know the SHO was AWD. That's pretty sweet. MPG's are terrible, but depending on the commute it might not be a huge deal.

All bias aside, 46k miles on a 2011 seems high...but depends on the registration date. Might be 2.5 years old already.

How crazy is this? My daily beater BMW hit 250000 miles. I'm looking to replace it with something pretty soon too. budget around 25k also.
I'm thinking about this:
or this to stay in the BMW family.
(w/pete) Legacy's ftw.

I've had both.
C5 pro - cheaper to fix (duh)
C5 con - squeaks & rattles as bad as the s2000 if not worse - flimsy trim
E46 M3 pro - ummm looks fking awesome? (& it is)
E46 M3 con - they don't care that you can't afford to fix it
both will suck gas

Ha. Vette as a DD....how's that saying go? There's a fine line between genius and crazy. LOL
The SHO might be the way to go for you guys, it's a very large car. If that's what you want. The G37x, A4 will be smaller..and the A4 only has 205hp or so, zippy w/ the turbo but....no where near the top end that the wifey wants. (giggitty)
I reallllllly wanted an e46 M3. I've wanted one for years, but I just couldn't justify the price that people were asking. I kept coming back to the value story on the comparable cars. Even spent some time trying to find a 330 w/ the ZHP package. Even those were tough to find.
I think you'd be shocked but look at the 335 prices. You can score an 07 or even an 08 for around 25k. In fact, look into that for the wifey too.

Anyone have some recommendations for a good carry conceal handgun?
Mine was $498 with lazer sight.

Hmm thanks for the heads up on it. I'll do some research on it.
