Go for the 550. Based on your comments, it seems like if you can find one at the right price with some time left on the CPO warranty it’s the only named vehicle you really want. Everything else is a compromise one way or another. ---

do you realy want to hop into another car payment while your trying to finish the rx-7? i say you get a beater for a few months, finish your car, then go shoping for something you like. just my opinion. Im probably gunna sell my m5 now and hop into a e36 328i. ---

I like the $199/ month lease idea. You already have a fun car to drive when ever you need so you might as well get a cheap daily that you’ll not have to do anything to for the next 3 years. A little over 7k out of pocket amortized over 3 years vs dropping 30k today. Do something smart with that extra 23k and you’d probably pay for the 7k in investment return in time for the lease to expire. ---

Everything else is a compromise one way or another. Agreed. Problem is I am only wanting one with nav, headed seats, the M5 looking sports package, and split rear seats. This brings it from something I can get cpo for like 28 to 35k. I also have saved(aside from what nyspeed financial advisors think) for another house soon so I might consider cheaper options for a year or two. > [@JayS](#): > > I like the $199/ month lease idea.

A little over 7k out of pocket amortized over 3 years vs dropping 30k today. Do something smart with that extra 23k and you’d probably pay for the 7k in investment return in time for the lease to expire. Not going to lease. I would buy that same 15k car two years old for 10k and resell it for 7 after a few years instead of just pissing money away on a lease. It is a good thing for some just not for me. > [@Final GTS](#): > > I think you should just track down and buy back your old Cougar. Or even the Maxima… ON ZEE HIGHWAY!

> [@Minglor](#): > > Buy a TC. > I’ve heard they do solid heaters. FACT! I just want something comfy and auto and cpo. Hopefully my fla guy can help me out on the 550i front if not legacy it is looking like. I would consider a 525/530 or even a c350 or something. I dunno I have at least till the 17th(school) to figure it out. ---

The one above just has painted wheels, painted over chrome accents, and blacked out lights.
