Jesus christ you guys throw a lot of money away on overpriced cars. Talk about bad investments. At least houses historically go up in value, autos are GUARANTEED to depreciate big time.
Not true. Limited production cars can actually make you money if you flip them. I did own an RS4 for 1 hour. Sold it right back to the dealer and pocketed $3k, who turned around and marked it up by $8k and sold it to someone else on the waitlist that wanted to jump to the front of the line.
And for awhile, 1 year old priuses were selling at the new MSRP prices. E39 M5’s were flippable the first few months out. E90 M5’s though haven’t been, because they upped the production of those, and plus the uber german sedans have gained competion with the arrival of others like Audi’s RS lines, Mercedes AMG lines, etc. And for awhile, Lexus LS460’s were marked above msrp for the first few months of release because Lexus curtained production to stimulate demand.I can say that the Nissan GTR (err Skyline GTR) would be flippable IF dealers weren’t planning to already mark them up $10-$25k above their MSRP of $69k. Of course, Nissan is trying to discourage this by not honoring warranty if you sell it to someone else within the first year (at least that was the last that I read about it).

March 6, 2008 at 8:45 PM #165296CoronitaParticipantHow can you compare the POS camry for 20K with the ultimate car, the 3,5,7 series. It starts at nearly 40K. Why would you live in Chula Vista when you can live in Carmel Valley?
As for the “realtors”, they should just call them used home salesman, then this poster wouldnt get confused and liken them to ahem,.. real professionals, CPAs and uh, uh, lawywers.
Lol, wait 5 years, and let’s see which car is the POS 🙂

My RS4
E39 BMW M5
S54 M RoadsterMy favorite SUV (comparing it to other I have had including A Hummer H2 and an ML320) is Audi Q7.
If you want a motorcyle thread, anything Yamaha, especially an R6 and R1. I also have a beautiful ’01 BMW R1200C from that bond movie, a rolling work of art IMHO I will never part with and with 0.9% financing, I loved paying it down to zero over the years.
Eeke, not a big fan of the Q7, especially the nose. It just looks odd to me on an SUV. Nevertheless, it’s a nice ride.
Come on baby, bring on the RS5. Now this would be an awesome ride.
