Pick me a new DD
Hey guys,
So here is my Current Lineup: 06 H3 07 S2000 11 GTI 11 1M (on the way) Now I'm giving my mom the GTI since she likes it so much. Im taking her 03 325i since she doesn't want to deal with the constant issues from it. It has about 120k miles on it. Any estimate what i could sell it for guys? Also the GTI was my DD. I loved it. I need a decent replacement. If i can get $5k for the 325i ill be happy. Im willing to spend another $15k in cash and just buy another car outright. The 1M deposit + my recent watch purchase is depleting most of my funds lol So what should i get with a $20k budget without including taxes; etc. ?? Im not sure what kind of dd i really want Brand new Mini Cooper hardtop? Used Mini Cooper S? Used 2007 328i/xi? Brand New Fit? Brand New Insight? |

Why not just drive the 1M? You'll get 30MPG on the highway with it anyway if you baby it and you won't pay the upkeep of having multiple cars.
IMO I don't know why would would ever buy an M car if you didn't need some kind of practicality. Otherwise you would buy a Porsche or similar lol. |

The 1M will be for nights and weekends. My s2000 is for auto-x and track. H3 is for winter. Also i didn't buy the porsche because the cayman r and cayman s left me unsatisfied IMHO. The 911 carrera and carrera s weren't THAT great for me to spend $100k. The only porsche i wanted, after actually driving them, was the gt3. |

I would sell the H3 but we get some horrible weather in NY these past 3 years. The H3 was the only car that got out of my driveway during the last blizzard. The only way i would replace the H3 would be for a wrangler. |

Well if it's going to be a DD, why not something WAY more practical like a chevy cruze or ford focus? They are nice to look at, get somewhere from high 30's to low 40 MPG and lots of good gizmos and gadgets standard.
Also they can be had for under 20. |

Used Lexus IS300. I just test drove one a week ago. Pretty capable and comfy. Just make sure the specimen you buy is taken care of; the one I test drove had little problems all over the interior. Plus, it didn't have an auxiliary jack.
Like others have said, I'd scrap the H3 and get a TDI.
