new daily driver time
|
|
I want V8 RWD, and a manual and under 20k Thought BMW, but ehhh. Already had the ZHP. SO I think that only leaves me with 04-06 CTS-V

I know about the rear diff issues on anything under 09 I think it is, any other reason not to get this lol?
Ditching wife's 2012 outback, and she will take my jeep.

I'd say G8 GT, but you want a manual.

If you're into it the one in your link looks like it's worth another look. Otherwise I guarantee you a ZHP E46 is nothing like a V8 6-spd BMW, although it's likely not going to have the torque of the american muscle at this budget.

Not a fair comparison to stack an e46 3 series vs e60 550 imo. Completely different cars.
I've driven that gen cts-v and was pretty close to buying it but aside from the awesome engine and drive feel it's like being in a fancy neon. I'd be OK with that for a casual car, not in a daily.

Re: new daily driver time

By the way I was still going to buy it even though it was neon like, I loved the car. It was my old boss' car that he ended up giving to his 16 year old son as his first car - yes it got smashed shortly after.

A CTS-V driven by a 16yr old....WOW. How can people be that stupid? The kid could have killed himself in it or someone else. Just because one is "rich" doesn't make something un-stupid. He should have given the kid an 85 Ford Tempo.

To me that's like "I'm done dating hot chicks, I had one". Haha. To echo Vas its not the same. M3 isn't in your budget so I'd drive a 550i if I were you before ruling it out. It meets all criteria.
I linked you to one by me the other day, I'm serious I'd drive it back with you. Cars here are CLEAN. When buying the 4runner I could tell when cars weren't from here (where 80's Honda's are seen daily and daily driven) as lots spent their first 3yr leases in the rust belt. I wish my 2011 328i were as clean as my 06 Toyota.

E46 is much nicer. The e60 interior is about on par with that cts.
