I'm bored throw some ideas at me..

[maxtdi]

Believe it or not porsches are actually pretty damn reliable; BMWs aren't, esp Ms. That M6 is a terrible car to own. It needs a 3k clutch job every 40k miles... it gets 12mpg and it has a V10 that is made of glass and uses 10w60 BMW oil that costs $15 a quart. Fak that...

The cayman can get a walmart battery... it uses $25 a jug walmart mobil 1 and I can do most of the items myself...

Leave the gaymen alone and put on big boy pants.

There's a reason they are cheap used. Can't afford to keep them on the road. F that.

(Car is in) Inglewood...
Always up to no good...

Assless chaps? Like WEZ in Road Warrior?

And besides....big boy pants is a 911!

I troll I troll. I like the Cayman but personally I'd rather have a 2+ Golf R. Everyone likes different stuff though.

This is true. They're nowhere near as bad as BMWs.

Time to shop/close a deal and have some fun!

Especially M cars. The CarMax M6 has one advantage though. The warranty you can purchase to go along with it, for probably $2k additional cost. Covers everything.

However, it would be a royal pain in the ass to own. Its nearing the 50k entire suspension overhaul phase. And at 6 years old I'd start to get a bit concerned about coolant lines, radiator, water pump, etc.

4 owners too. That should say something about the car...

Not sure if you decided on a Golf R or Cayman yet but if you decide to pursue the Golf R route I will be selling mine soon. 2012 CSG 4 Door with sunroof/Nav. 20K miles stock except for full front Xpel wrap, OEM LED Tails, Weathertech floor liners, Thule rack and Gentex Auto dim mirror with Homelink. Car has been well cared for, oil has been changed every 5k. Still under factory warranty. Just doing some quick price comparisons, $28k seems like a fair price. Only reason I am selling is because I am downgrading to an Outback for the added ground clearance. Car is located in Oregon.

Good luck with your search either way.

There is no way a sane company will sell a 2k warranty for this car. It'll likely be 4-5k and have a $150 per visit deductible or some crap. Anyways...

I am a little bummed that blue r sold... It was a decent deal even at asking price

The carmax monkeys likely won't pay attention. Unless it's flagged in "the system", it may not cost that much. You could make out like a bandit with a Carmax warranty on a car like that...but then you'd have to drive that car... :yikes:

For those saying I don't buy cars...

Since 2011
2011 Sold 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 Bought 2011 Golf TDI
2011 Sold 2002 C5 Corvette
2012 Bought 1969 Pontiac Firbird
2012 Sold Pontiac Firebird
2013 bought 2001 M3
2014 Sold 2001 M3

I can last at most 1 year without a performance/Project car. I sold the m3 in Feb of this year... so clock is ticking hard...

Interesting comparison. It is interesting how the M3/4 becomes less and less appealing to me over time.

I also find it interesting that porsche tends to send insanely optioned testers to mags only to have them bitch about it. From what I found on the used market is that most porsches are equipped without the myriad of options that make them completely priced out of the competition.

id take e92 over the current gen anyday of the week. because naturally aspirated and worlds less hassle on maintenance financially vs e46

 

[maxtdi]

Current gen...
spins rod bearings...
uses the same stupid ass race oil..
gets insanely shitty mpg...
still cracks subframes...

At this point I am completely over M products... they are good for 0-50k miles when you buy the cars new... anything after that is a total fking crapshoot unless you bend over and take it up the ass with a CPO purchase that costs 10-15k more than private party.

my guess is that m's are only worth to own if its not your only car or daily driver, unless new
