At the end of August 2018 I needed a new daily because I gave mine to my daughter. I wanted an M2, but the dealers just wouldn't deal on them like I thought they should at that time of year, so I stole a 2018 IS350 FSport for $38K (sticker was $52K), and got .9% financing. Unfortunately, the car was an automatic, and even though it was to be my new daily, I immediately regretted the decision. 8 months later I traded the car for a used '18 M2 6MT, and couldn't be happier.
Back when I sold cars I always told people the truth. They rarely liked it. One of those truths was; you're buying a car, not a price. Buy the right car and the price doesn't matter as much. Buy the wrong car and price tends to be everything.
I ate my own words to the tune of a $4K loss...and couldn't be happier.
