Default My next car

Dreaming about my next car. I was thinking about a black Charger srt8 or a Certified BMW 02-03 m5. What do you think?

I've seen many Charger SRT8 cars on the West Coast. It is bulky and does have sequential power.
I'd pick the M5 cause it's sleeker and has a lower gravitational stance than the SRT8. I think the M5's power and handling is engineered better than the SRT8.

Good luck...

sorry for stealing your thread, but since we're on the topic of M5's especially a used one, what's the ballpark range that they're going for now?

Does the M5 hold it's value over the years?

I know they're limited production and I hardly see them on the streets occassionally here and there.

I did notice that the owners driving the M5 have kept their cars very clean, though.

Just curious....Thanks...teeman3

I'm not sure about in the US but certified '03 M5's here are ~65k cad, so they hold their value pretty well.

In this case M5 definitely.

In the US there is a significant difference in pricing compared to Canada.

You can get excellent condition 03 M5's with low mileage for about $40K - $50K

Right, I was just pointing out that they hold their value fairly well.

Yes indeed! I was just mentioning pricing in the US that's all.
