Got myself a motoring quandry ?

[ZermattV]

Echo the sentiments I would keep it - as a percentage of additional miles it matters much less on the current car - keep it , from what I've read from you at some point a 997 will happen so I'd keep your great M in a fantastic colour for now.

Keep it and keep enjoying it

Keep it but get rid at the first sign of it needing money spent on it.

Hmm, if you enjoy the experience driving the ///M so much then looking at how higher mileage examples can vary in price so much you might be able to sell your ///M at a price which would allow you to buy a 20K lower mileage example and benefit from running that for a year or so then doing the same with that. . . . you're a canny enough buyer to know when to sell and what to buy.

///M ownership and enjoyment for little layout if you can be bothered with the buying and selling - which seems not to phase you; in fact I'd take it to be your forte mr wilks

Much sense offered with some manmaths thrown in as well
The answer i think lies with a good % of almost every reply so i shall continue to enjoy , continue to maintain then see where the miles & market sits come next springtime
My 2nd quandry being the amount of added pleasure got from the capacity to drop the roof :wink:
This almost puts a line through the 3 cars i would have looked to get into next ? V8 M3 , Cayman or 997
Basically leaves me with a choice of lower mile ZM , E89 or Boxster if i was to change :?

Decisions eh.

I am looking at exactly the same type of issue but with my M being lower miles at just under 52K. I only got my Z in February and absolutely love it. I wanted a coupe but picked up an absolute steal of a roadster.

I have some money coming my way and it will give me a pretty healthy budget. I want to keep the M but want to try either the Cayman GT4 or the Boxster Spyder. I think I will try to run both (M and Porker) in the short term and then make a decision. There are probably too many good cars coming from Stuttgart at the moment to not try them but also be mindful that the Z4M is a definite future classic and getting another decent one could be difficult or expensive, or both.
