Default ?? its a car.....one like many of you have. I'm sure most everyone here has taken some form

of a car loan to purchase their audi. How is this any different? I don't have a car payment now, so I thought why not spoil myself a bit. Its been 4yrs since I had a car pymt.....I think I'm ready to dive back in.

Default my budget tops out at $30K for a CPO car......$25K would be ideal...

a B8 would be nice, but I'm not really considering any other cars other than those two M3s. If I were to get an E36, it would need to be PRISTINE, preferably a later year too (98-99)...hence why the $7-8K i had alotted for one isn't gonna cut it.

Default I hear ya...I'd definitely try and work with a BMW dealer for a clean

low mileage CPO car then.

I have a friend who's a Sales Manager for one.

Let me know if we can put him to good use =)

Default Def go through BMW then...

Hold out for a 0.9% rate, if they are not currently available, they will be back. They need to offer these deals to keep the used inventory moving.

Default Bad idea

Mostly because its unsecured, so the interest rate is going to be very high (~10% percent). What about BMW Financial Service? I heard rates somewhere around 1% if you have a good credit rating (would be perfect for the E46).

Default Why not an E39 M5?

you probably have your mind set on the M3 but in the price range that your in you cant go wrong with the "Beast"
