I look at this from a financial standpoint, you'll need to add sales tax on top of the price, so add 6%-8% on top plus title/registration fees. Unless you're paying cash, loan value and 7% interest also comes into play. And, insurance will not pay that amount back out if something happens and it gets totaled, you could be out of thousands of dollars. That's just the way I look at it, if you want the car, do what feels right for you.

yeah, i hear you. unfortunately thats just the way the market is these days, and its a terrible time to buy. sales tax wise, i can get out of that here in SC due to being military, but the rest is all valid. i'm not dead set on the is, but getting into a sorted N54 is appealing to me.

yep. there are very few manual is i've seen searching, and most are dct and modded/beat on with more miles for only a few grand less. i'm now just waiting on insurance to deal with current car and hoping some of the cars i'm looking at dont sell before then.
