I got an email from a buddy I used to work with that he finally got a BMW....550i stick. BMW still has a certain desirability that seems to override sensibility. My friend was with me on my maiden voyage at work with the 335 coupe when it was brand new, in 12/06. All this time he wanted a BMW, and he finally got it. I remember when he was in the front seat he said what's your payment on this thing? I said about $46x.....he was like you put over 20 down? Well, his car listed for 74k, and he put 50 down and his payment is in the 400's too!
That's what happens when you wait--your job catches up to your wants. All this time he drove a Toyota. Partnership has its rewards.
