What to Buy???!!! Please advise!

Amit,

Buying the 97 M3 is a better choice considering it's in excellent 
condition. First,you will avoid paying the luxury tax because it's used. 
Second, it's loaded. Third, higher resale value due to additional 
options.The resale value (5 years) of M3 Coupe($24,483)and  Sedan 
($24,414) are very close (based on IntelliChoice Complete Car Cost 
Guide). Fourth, free maintenance for another year and still under 
warranty. I hope this helps.

Subject: What to Buy???!!! Please advise!

I'm having a real hard time in deciding what to buy.   I just passed on 
a 97
M3-4dr white/black, cause the finanaces weren't looking good on that one 
and
what's wrong/what's not, was bothering me.  So I thought going with a 
dealer
would be my best bet.  My two-year goal is to eventually be in the new 
model E46
M3, but what should I but for the mean time, $'s are also a factor, 
every grand
counts.  Here are my options:
98 M3- Black/Black 2dr. 2K miles      - $40K
97 M3- Black/Black 4dr. only 50 miles - $40K 
     (however this one is fully loaded including
      forged alloys, heated seates, etc)
98 M3- New White/Black 4dr             - $41,500

or I could go for a 99 E46 brand new factory order, which would cost me 
around
$38K with most of the options including Sports Pkg., Lux Pkg., Xenon 
Headlights,
HK system and M-Aero Pkg.  

The only thing is, if the money get tight and I have to end up selling 
for some
reason - I lost the most money on the new car.  The used car, I'd lose 
less
money.  

Also, quality and drive is a big factor also.  I want to be in something 
that'll
be fun, but I guess that goes for all I listed :)

Any advice, as to what the best - how much more I could lower the prices 
on a
particular car, and what'd be worth it's money when I try to re-sell it 
would
all be some good info. for my ears.

Thanks.
Amit
