Are your going to lease, finance or cash?
Hey guys, you don't have to answer the question if it's too personal lol. But I was just going over some of the pricing options on the 3 series (just to play with the numbers) and it's cheaper to lease the vehicle than to purchase the vehicle which lead me to thinking which option I would take once the 135i comes. Anyone have any opinions? If I purchase the car, I'd probably want to keep it for 10 yrs or so. Who knows. Leasing also has its advantages as well.

Think about this: do you really want to OWN a turbocharged car? Not ME! The only reason to buy a car is if you plan to extensively modify it, or if it's a Honda, which is cheaper to own than lease. |

Finance. So I'm going to go against the rule of never buying a turbo car. In fact, since I'll be 65 in 2008, it'll be a keeper--they'll have to pry the 135i's steering wheel out of my cold, dead hands.

i drove an old turbo'd volvo from about 150k miles to 275k miles before i sold it. never once had the turbos worked on. if the owners before me didn't either, then that car went around 300k miles w/o turbo trouble or maintenance.
also, i had basically zero engine work besides regular maintenance...clutch..timing chain/belt etc therefore, i'm not that scared about purchasing. |

To steal a quote from another post I just made: Bottom line: Don't just accept anecdotal recommendations on what to do with your money. Look at the cashflows as well as what else you could do with the money and figure it out for yourself. |
