???

figure 20-22 for the evo on trade (05, 27K)

Which would either leave me w/ a standard finance payment of 4xx for 48

The payment would not impact me financially

My reasoning is this:

BMW covering the maint would cover the financing charges over the 4 years 50K…I think the BMW will hold the value more so I would loose as much/less on the car than the EVO.

I actually think insurance might be cheaper.

i’m guessing you are talking about a bimmer?  
do it…  
except no LSD is pretty weak…  
An exhaust and reflash is supposed to make huge power on those.  
way more pimp than an evo…

you really think you’d get that much on a trade in?

otherwise - don’t see why not, all thought the evo awd is probably going to be nicer for snow… the BMW will undoubtedly be more comfortable 😛

i test drove a 335, it was EH… it was quick, but lacked the refinement and excitement factor of the e46 m3 i just snagged, i was torn between the two, but pulled the trigger on the e46 because the inital depreciation is already over with, and i got a killer deal…

it just seemed to me that the 335 lacked any sort of performance SOUL if you will, it was fast, and was anice luxury car, but i cuoldnt see myself throwing it around the track like i can with the m

It’s gonna be a nicer daily driver, but it won’t be a track car like the Evo. Give and take, give and take…

the evo should be a easy sell private party, dont get screwed by the dealer on a trade. Your not that lazy are you? They had a new 3 series xi coupe at the auto show, its pretty hot. I say go for it, you will wonder how you drove the evo as a daily for so long.

The difference on 22K trade is almost $1900 in saved taxes…I don’t think I’d sell it for more than 24K so it’s not worth the hassle of a private sale…

So if I was offered under 21 for trade I’d sell privately otherwise, not worth it
