A seven year old N/A manual bimmer wagon... for 18 grand.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I’m so used to NOT having money, that now that I may or may not have some money, I still can’t imagine how much I would need to make before allowing myself to justify such a purchase.

Also, if I did allow myself to splurge 18k, wouldn’t I just end up buying nine Paseos instead?

The manual wagons seem to hold their value. I would have paid 18k for a 328i wagon with a 6MT and a sport pack in a heartbeat, if I could have found one.

Just save your money and invest. Not in anything crazy, just enough to beat/mitigate inflation.

My heart and wallet say yes, but it’s not in my driveway already for some unknown reason.

I will always want one of these very badly. Even if it’s an automatic.

Noice. That’s about perfectly optioned, colors awesome too.

If you think you may ever spend $18K on something that doesn’t also have masonry please buy this car

This is the same mentality that I got from my parents growing up. My wife has it, too. Once you learn the value of a dollar, it’s hard to learnt to waste it, even if you have a lot...fortunately.

Not even the worst problem I have. By a long shot.

When you find out you have so many genetic defects that you shouldn’t have children, because the chance of them leading even a remotely normal life is zero.

Asking price isn’t always transaction price.

I thought taking bribes to approve shoddy construction would have easily been more profitable :)

Not all of them, but probably at least one. And i’m not feeling very jovial lately.

That price is a little steep for the milage, I’d say NP if it had 60k or less on the clock personally.
