@Porsche75 great deal - congrats and enjoy!

Z4 M40i sounds fantastic and might be close to your tastes if you had the V6 F-Type.

Someone has done that before. Here is the link.
I think itās ok. tās really hard to get a beautiful sound out of 4 cylinder engine. Even Porsche that are famous for their singing engine notes could not deliver the goods when they changed their boxster engines to the 4 turbo formula.
Thanks. The inventory is in fact thin and itās hard to find a dealer that is motivated especially right before summer. Most of the deals to be had in convertibles are usually on fall or winter unless you can find an aged unit and be flexible in terms of color/options.

I was strongly considering that car until my better half advised against it due to the global issues. Iāll definitely be looking at the lease transfer forum near the end of summer!
Grats on the great deal.

I had always overlooked corvettes before, because I thought itās a car more suited for middle age people and I keep forgetting that I will 45 Years old this year. 
I think the corvette is a hidden 
And it will be the bargain of the decade if it can be had for sub $500, but personally I never had any luck finding a domestic dealer that is willing to deal. Last attempt of trying to get a Mustang Shelby more than 10 years ago had left a bitter taste in my mouth that kept me way from all those beautiful machines for a very long time which is really sad.

Thank you my friend. you made a wise choice. I had the same issue but I figured if Iām gonna be locked out of the beach, the hiking trails and the gym, then at least I want to get some open air enjoyment for my mental health. I practiced delayed gratification for the first 30 years of my life and it paid really well and I feel I can go a little easy on myself at this stage of my life.

I have to strongly disagree and now we need and exhaust note thread. But that ftype exhaust sounds like you took Beethovenās symphony smashed all the metal instruments into small pieces and shook them in a can lolā¦And good lord we need to teach you the art of a cold star haha.
Thatās very true. By the way I love the design of the C7 more than the coming C8. I wonder if the MY2019 are still leasable and what the numbers look like.
The I8 grabs attention like no other car I have ever driven before and Iāve driven tons including rolls and Lambos. The car brings out strong emotions both positive and negative. Itās crazy and can be a bit scary sometimes. I ended up putting mine on swapalease and I got more than 40 requests before getting swapped. Itās definitely not for the faint of heart.
