Yeah... Only had the X near on 18 months...
Change in circumstances really led to the sale! I have a work car now, which doubles as the family bus on the weekends, so I really don't need to use my car... except for fun, and I want something that is a bit more of a 'toy'.
Looking at a number of different cars, but I want something that hopefully won't half in value after 12 months, sounds and looks great with plenty of sack to keep the occasional track day entertaining and worthwhile. That and be within my budget of (currently around $50k, but looking at saving for a bit to push that to $60k)...
Current short list:
B7 Audi S4 (gotta be manual which are proving very hard to find)
Audi S5
E46 M3
996 911 Carrera/4
987 Cayman S
Problem is most of them are right up in the $60ks which I can't justify stretching to at this stage... E46 M3 and S4(if i can find a manual) are most likely available in my current budget, but I'm just not confident that I will be happy with them long term as a very occasional driver/garage queen...?
