So I put a deposit down ages ago for a M3, then when the price was announced here in the UK I thought screw that!!!! around 40k for the single motor M3, so you get hit by the new luxury car tax. So I started thinking second hand MS, and quickly decided the P85D would suit me just right, 2016 MS P85D's going for around 45k here in the UK, free supercharging for life, 30k ish miles.
So over the weekend I took both out for a spin, first time ever seen an M3, hmmm, I didn't really like the outside, not impressed with the smooth front which seems a little bland to me, I like the pre-facelift front of the MS, I like the extra room the MS gives although the size scares the wife a little. Another thing I hated about the M3 was the interior and the stuck on ipad in the middle, with no front display for the driver, now I know why they are doing this as soon we will all be passengers in our own driving seats but for now I like to look down and see things, like how fast I am going
One thing that I have noticed and scares me a little is the used cars on Teslas own site, the prices seem to drop daily by 200 - 300 pounds, good in a way as the car you may want to buy could possible be 1k cheaper next week, unless somebody gets in there before you get the chance, or do you wait another week, or a further week , do you buy it and then know that in a months time it has probably lost 1k or maybe much more?
I have used 'Man Maths' to justify the purchase to the wife, and after driving an oil burner for the last 9 years I feel now is the time for a treat for myself, bu then the oil burner doesn't cost me anything besides the Diesel and servicing as it was paid for a long time ago.
Should I stop thinking and start buying?
