But as you said, enjoyment factor is worth something, and for me personally, I think life's too short for boring cars FWIW, you should look into the high performance Porsche models if you want low depreciation. Cayman R, Boxster Spyder and 997.2 GT3 (especially the RS 4.0) versions are transacting close to their brand new sticker prices, even though the cars are a few years old now. The RS 4.0 in particular has appreciated |

Not being familiar with those October lease deals, can you post the relevant numbers on the car you got?

I agree. If you want to by a car that doesn't depreciate much then buy a Honda, Toyota, Lexus etc. I doubt that there is anyone on this board that bought their Z4 strictly for transportation but rather for the enjoyment of driving a Z4. I always buy preowned cars that are 3 to 4 years old and let someone else take the huge hit upfront. I personally think that you should never buy a car if you are worried about how you are going to get out of it or if you are worried about how much money will be lost.
Buy the car you want and can afford and drive it like you stole it. Last edited by Lambobimmer; 12-19-2014 at 08:21 PM.. |

I love all the feedback, as that is what this thread was designed to do. Keep the Conversation going. Its fantastic.
I too have not invested hours on end washing, cleaning, keeping it spotless nor invested over $4000 more into the car in purchases of upgrades of wheels, aftermaktet parts, extended warranty, etc expecting a return of 1 cent. These are my instant gratification wishes that I want and will spend for my personal enjoyment- JUST LIKE the purchase of the Z. I feel fantastic just driving it for the mundane things like getting my dog his doggie food. I never bought the car NOR any car for ASS U ME ing to maintain level value nor stupid enough to think that it was not going to NOT depreciate ESPECIALLY when I researched and looked at the reduced values of the Z from new when I bought it I really don't care if the Z is worthless. I just love knowing its in the garage. In fact, I was out in the garage just this morning just staring at it and admiring how COOL of a car it is. Theres nothting on the road. Everywhere I go and everybody who see's it ask's about it. Porsche's are everywhere and now common. The Z is a classic sports car to hopefully live on forever.

I sat in the Kia cadenza and k900 at the auto show this year and it's amazing how far Kia has come, and with such a great warranty too. I hate to say it but those cars have a more upscale interior that the black leather with no navi in my z4 (not to mention the cloth in the m3 I just ordered) what's the world coming to eh? Cloth in a 60k bimmer and quilted leather and contrast stitching in a $60k Kia. |
