    I just drove my dream car...

    I just got back from taking a spin in an estoril/allblack 2000 BMW M Coupe. 11K on the ODO.

    WOW.

    I am SMITTEN.

    This thing is everything I've dreamed it was and more, brakes, accel, handling, everything is wonderful on the car.

    The owner of it is about halfway through a 3 year lease on it, the residule should be around 22, ~$500 a month payments would bring it to about 30 if I just took over payments, but we're trying to work out a deal where I pay a lump sum up front, take over the lease, then buy out the residule. This could work out very nicely. That lump sum would be whatever profit I make from selling my Corrado and paying off the loan on it.

    If everything works out, I could join the ranks with an estoril blue M Coupe in a month or so. Wish me luck!

    :-(

    The selling party decided that it was not in his financial best interests to transfer the lease to me. Back to square one, hunting for an M Coupe.
