You have a max budget of $800/mo, and you want a driver's car. What are you looking at?

good reason to get new heads and build it. cam it so its makes some nice sounds CHOP CHOP CHOP

If I can get my hands on an e-tron GT for under $1k, 12mo I’d do it tomorrow. No dealers in SoCal willing to do that for me apparently.

@Samaudibh can do it 24 month
MSDs tho…

Send me my finders fee

I had deal on table a couple days ago $878 DAS $878 monthly tax in
Didn’t get it as wife didn’t want it so getting the ix instead 24/ 10k mile

A clean adult owned Lexus GS F if you can find one. CPO might still be under warranty and it likely won’t lose $30K over 3 years being driven 9,000 miles

Pricey I checked - limited numbers available

What dealer was this?

He’s sold out, but I would have given you that fee.

Get in touch with Sam @autopia

i dont think 800 for m240i is feasible let alone m2…i’m 700 for 230i

Used Cayman or Boxster. Don’t forget about early used Jag F-Types either.

NVM having to squeeze a 6’5" frame into one on a regular basis. May need a chiro or acupuncturist in the family.

Used Alfa 4c or even Lotus Elise.

Financed would be in monthly budget but you’ll recoup most at sale time so cost will be far less.

I never sat in either, though, so fitting in it is the question.

Trying to finalize deciding what to pick up in the next week or so.

Criteria: quick enough (sub-4.5 to 60), capable of being pushed in canyons, comfortable enough as a daily, $1,000/mo or less per month to lease (assuming no more than $5k DAS). I do not need 4 seats.

Seems like the Z4 and M2 aren’t far apart performance-wise. Z4 offers convertible driving and much better looks. But I’m not sure if the m40i is more expensive to lease.

Also not sure if anything else that meets my criteria is worth considering. I think 718s are out because of price. Not interested in the Supra or the new Z.

<5k down and <1k month all in lease for how many miles/ years? That’d give us a marker to try to beat.

2 or 3 years, don’t need more than 5k miles

Out of everything mentioned previously in this thread, what have you driven? And what specifically did you like or dislike about each one?

$41,000 to drive a Z4 or M2 for 15k total miles seems nuts to me. But to each their own.

Don’t count out a good ol’ 330i with Dynamic Handling Package.

350z, 370z, 6th gen Camaro SS & C7 Z06 are by far some of the best drivers cars that I’ve driven. Those cars are all relatively cheap today, and obviously leasing is out of the question…
