Stunning looking car. What's up?

 

[polly]

Howzit bro
I also picked up my car on Thursday and felt pretty much like yourself
But I promise u drive it for the first 50 km and all your reservations will be out the window.
I'm driving up to Jozi today and will do a write up on her when I get home.
All I can say so far I can't stop smiling when behind the wheel and after driving for 2 days now I can justify the price tag.
In fact I think it's a bargain for the whole package. You really are getting super car performance with all the technology and toys and also comfort and luxury which much more expensive cars don't even have

White and red, a match made in heaven :inlove:

i think before buying the car i told myself if its under R1.2 id buy ... they quoted me R1160 and was going to get the bank cheques ready (old school, but there is a reason i prefer it this way) and then R1206k the last minute because the system did not update ...

i waited so long for the car ... Jethroe at Cedar Isle is an amazing guy to deal with ... nice car, and i have driven one ... but i just dunno

Too much money for too little car imho.

Either way should you decide to dive in drive it in good health

This is almost twice the price of my 335. So it should be twice the fun! Right?

Go buy the same car with 4.000 on the clock as a 6 month old demo, and pay 800k for it.

That would be the logical thing to do,

That's why they are known as stealerships! Pulling all sorts of last minute tricks to get more out of the deal!

Anyway, if you do take it at the original price (or another more reasonable deal) it's the perfect colour for your left over soft99 :=):

This is what I keep saying. They will depreciate like there is no tomorrow.

I don't think they will depreciate that badly at all.

At the risk of sounding like a stuck record, I do not get this at all. The below are my own personal views, and I get flamed on a regular basis for having an opinion, so take this as you will, with no offence meant to anybody.

But, Guys will go and pay this sort of money for a new car with motorplan, but wont consider a 4 year old with 101k on the clock, cause its going to break and be too expensive too fix.

This is exactly the reason why car prices are what they are like.

If you are prepared to part with half of the cars value within the first 2 years, then go and buy this.

But it really does not make sense to me at all.

And if you guys know what I know about the new car industry, and how many times that car has been worked on before you buy it brand new off the showroom floor, you will never in your life pay new car premiums.

There is a certain manufacturer which I will not disclose, but last year with the hail, I replaced bonnet dome and tailgate, all elbow beadings, all glass, and repainted practically the whole car. Car was sold as new. I did about 12 vehicles for them.

Then there is damage during transportation, which is an industry I also worked for, unloading/offloading onto trucks/trains. At the docks the cars are packed like sardines with mm between them, guys walk around in their spiderpig costumes and the car gets scratched. Some of these repairs are done at the docks/transport depot in open air. Some are sent to a panel shop.

You folks would fall over blind to know that there are some dealerships who used to send me two cars, one was sold, one was not, with a dent in the door. and they will have you swap out the two doors on the cars, just to make a sale. I shit you not this is the truth.

New cars make sense for companies that can use the initial write off as a tax deduction, for a private individual.. no way.

Specially not 1.2m... that's crazy.

You doing too good of a repair job.

 

[Nick]

Im with you LZ, i see it on a daily basis.

 

[Bernard///M3]

I'm keen on a garage queen M3 in 2 years time with like only 10000km only driven on Sundays!!! Hopefully it will be like R800k by then:rollsmile:

It is an awesome car, but the price. Damn it's heavy!! I paid 50,7% of that price for my 335 with all my MPerf parts just over a year ago.

Difficult decision bud, Good Luck

After two years, f10 m5's are a good example..

I actually saw that the other day that's the exact type of car I want to buy in 2 years time. I'm really keen on M3 but M5 will be my 2nd option. What a machine for the price, current model brand new double the price:thumbdo:
