Thanks again to everyone that replied.
I never thought about that pop-up bar, I guess that does qualify for some clubs. Not sure about the BMW CCA. They tend to disqualify convertibles, period. Me personally, I've seen a few cars go turtle on the track and I'm not sure that I'd be comfortable doing it.
As a final update, the dealer came back to me at the end of May with another few thousand off the price, which brought the lease payment (nothing down) to $933 IIRC. Pretty darn awesome. But I had already decided on another car.
We went another way. I was really surprised that the wife liked it, and the response from most of my friends has also been very positive, again surprising me.
It's a Ford. Mustang GT. Six speed manual (one of my criteria) and no options, the way I like them. That does best in resale %. I trade cars frequently. This thing cost about 1/4 of what the M850i does. It's not the car the BMW is, obviously, but bang-for-buck it's hard to beat. Except of course, for the image of the typical Mustang driver. You know, the guy who does a burnout after cars & coffee and spins out into the crowd.  |
Congrats. The latest version of the Mustang is the best one yet, and their 5.0L Coyote engine is a peach. Enjoy the Stang
