When trading in cars at the dealership. Pretty sure that was what we were talking about? My statement was referring to trading in, not private party sales. Dealerships don't typically care about options. I haven't had a single dealership experience where they said, "We're going to give you more...

and if you still had that 2001 M5 you could now sell it for 100k+ (if it had the right options and low miles)

Anytime I take any car to the dealership for service, I always take a picture of the mileage. This is one of the things I fear most about taking my cars to dealerships. Glad this person had proof of what they did and got taken care of by the dealership.

Agree. Most will list their car based on options. But then it's a crap shoot getting someone to pay extra for the "extra" options. I mean, if they REALLY want them, then they'll give you a headache trying to get a better price than what's listed for. It took me months of looking at car sale...

They really don't. Sold my 22 BW with all the right options (CCB, Carbon fiber backed seats, etc) and got the same amount for it that any other BW of that year without any options was listed for. The mileage was the only factor in value. Sold my 24 911 with 20k in added option "value" and got...

I wouldn't consider myself a "wealthy" buyer, but I've gone through seven cars (about to be eight) in the last two years because I have yet to find something that really speaks to me. I started off with an M4, then an S5, Integra, Lexus IS350, CT5VBW, M550, Lexus RC350, and 911. The 18 M4 was a...

Yeah after driving numerous 6spd transmission equipped cars. The 7spd in the 911 is just not that great. I mean it's notchy and you'll know you get it in to every gear. But good lord I find myself avoiding 7th gear as much as possible. I treat it like a 6spd because coming out of 7th the stick...

Exactly why I'm saying this dealership is crazy. It doesn't look different enough from a run of the mill CT5BW for the asking price.

Anyone wanna stop by this place and tell them they're out of their ever-loving mind. lol. https://www.jimhudsoncadillac.com/inventory/new-2024-cadillac-ct5-v-v-series-blackwing-rear-wheel-drive-sedan-1g6d25r64r0962012/

Looks like the M550 I had. I think that's why I never fell in love with it. It looks SO similar to every other BMW model that it didn't stand out at all.

Damn you went big boy captain of a boat cruiser style. I bet she's super comfy. My M550 was super comfy and that was an "almost" M car.

Which model BMW?

I posted a little bit about it in another thread but he's some takeaways. The power is definitely more usable on normal roads and you are able to use all of it before you're going to jail. Typical Porsche fashion the car handles like it's on rails. I'm still trying to find the limit, but it's...

No the Carrera T. Turbo is way too fancy for me

Right now I have a 2020 RC350 and a 2024 911T. The RC is my daily beater. It's quiet, smooth, has a little punch to get you on the highway quick enough and the Mark Levinson is phenomenal. BUT it's boring as fuck. I mean it does what it's meant to do (for my requirement) and it does it well...
