    I know..Ive said it before......but these coupes:

    are really fantastic cars. And thru the yrs they will only develop a bigger vintage following and value.


    y am I saying this again?


    i drive alot of big dollar tricked out track cars as an instructor....and the wife usually has a hi dollar german sedan leased........so yesterday she picks up another amg optioned sedan.....btw, it rides hard , bangs over bumps........ and shakes and jiggles...


    annnnnnnnd, ya know what?.....dollar for dollar Ill take my 240k mile coupe!!!!! for a country side drive.

    sorry for being redundant

    No argument from me. I have a 3.0 Z3 coupe and a Ferrari 550, I have more fun driving the Z3. This year I have put about 10x the miles on the Z3 than the 550.

    I just saw a 550 in SCM, and I'm thinking it went for 77,500 (& IIRC, 34k mi...). That may not be the new market__prices have adjusted the last couple of years__but someONE got a deal.

    I'd have to go with a Z4M Coupe or a 2008 or so Cayman S. Those are the only realistic things that capture my eye.

    About 6", I need to remove the antenna or the door snags it. Normally the 550 is on top and it has almost 10" of clearance.
