If the STi is a REALLY good deal then: 1- Buy STi 2- Drive through winter 3- Sell for profit in spring 4- Buy 335i 5- Heaters. 6- ??? 7- More profit ---

^^ thats kind of what i was thinking, I mean working for a dealer i can usually get good deals on a car but the STI is cheaper by about 2000 than what i could get wholesale ---

anytime you can get a car below wholesale it would make sense to buy and them just go trade it in for easy money. normally these scenarios are not so black and white. ---

The STi sounds great for the winter. I say 335d, that’s just me. 335i’s aren’t that fast anyway. The 335 has awesome torque, 35mpg hwy, and bmw feel. Then just get something nasty for the summer. There are plenty of fast cars out there for $10k just for the summer. ---
