2006 Ford Focus ZX3 SES - Stock 5-Speed!
I do a fair amount of city driving, probably 60/30 and my old car was killing me, especially in the winter with about 16 MPG at times.  Only racked up 9500 miles last year.  


Kind of miss my old car.  2001 Mercury Cougar Special Edition - Stock-Auto

we almost bought a white shelby GT350 convertible over the weekend.  the sticker was $48530.  the dealer wanted $20k over sticker because the car is rare I offered $8K over but they wouldn't negotiate.  If it's still there next weekend I'll go in for round 2.

Hawco, it does use two turbos but isn't it a straight six? That wouldn't have separate banks of three.  I never heard of a BMW V-6. Not that it's not possible, I just never heard of it. Maybe I'm just behind the curve on the BMWness and havn't kept up with what they are doing now days. Would you check and let me know? Thanks. Beautiful car! :aok

Storch,

That would be sweet if they caved in a bit.  Out here in Sacramento, they don't budge, the leave the lot pretty fast.

Sweet car though.  So far, I like the Roush (sp) and the Shelby, something about the Saleen body kits that just make it look awkward.

I went by there and it's gone someone ponied up the $69K.  I don't like car payments so I didn't want to go over what I could pay.  I'm kind of kicking myself a bit though.

That thing is going to be worth a fortune in twenty years.

Not in 20 years Storch, you may get out what you put into it. In order for that car to be worth at least double what your paying for it today you'd have to seal it up into an airtight container and never drive it. But even then I wouldn't bet you it'd be worth double...

Stick your pile of cash in an index stock fund, based on an average of a 6% return on your initial investment of $48,000.00 over 20 years you'll earn $57,600.00...

Well Storch was sayin he was kickin himself thinking how much the car would be worth in 20 years. If you want the car to drive and enjoy you can't be thinking what you hope it'll be worth some time down the road. If the return in the long run is how much money you'll sell it for, just dump the funds into a safe bet vs an unknown.
