A pre-owned Aston Martin DB9...enough said. Please close thread...lol. This car is very nice with performance, looks and exotic status. Definitely a head turner and a pre-owned could be in your price range. Just watch the last 007 movie with Pierce Brosnan and you'll love that steel gray 007 Aston Martin like I did. I love the GS though also...

wait for E92 M3 and decided between that and RS4.

That's exactly what I would do if you don't need a car in 6 months or so.

if he can deal with the 70-80k with dealer option loading and who knows how much "market adjustment fee" is going to be tacked on it. If it gets that ridiculous, rather buy a GTR

when e46 m3 first came out in 2001, there was a minimum of $20,000 markup on dealer across the countries. when E60 m5 came out, I saw a dealer with $60k mark up.

E92 m3 might end up being 75-85k during first few months of release. just my guess, BMW doesn't have rules against mark up like Lexus.

That's why European delivery is a must. No mark up on new models and an average 7% off retail. And yes, the price includes shipping your car back here after you enjoy driving some beautiful European roads:

Range Rover Sport, 4matic, RS4, M5....do you know what you're looking for in this new car?

Personally, I'd get a RS4 Avant.

This is interesting because I am kind of bored with my GS also and
was contemplating getting something else soon.

It's too bad I'm bored with anything that costs less than 200K

Thanks Car Chat
