You mean there wasn't a full paint correction, Ceramic and PPF included in with the bargain price of 330k? Doesn't look to much of a good deal now.
Only my opinion and this is meant to be helpful but why are you buying these cars in the first place?
Is it boredom and you have money laying around that is burning a hole in your pocket?
If I'm correct since you have been on here you have had at least 4 cars, not including the Z4, that you have not really used and wanted rid of for whatever reason.
You have mentioned an M6 a few times in the past but I feel that this will just be another car that you will buy and only keep for a few months.
Maybe your next car needs to replace your Mazda and be a nice car that you can use for going fishing and be accessible when you want to use it.

Cost to change is always how I work, years ago I bought a 939 Alfa Spider, one dealer offer me £10k for my Elise based on his car being £4k cheaper than the same car from a main dealer, I went to the main dealer had an equivalent car and got £14.5k for my Elise plus all the dealer warranty etc.
When Motorpoint called, I explained that I had bought a car from a main dealer, they were shocked as there car was £4k cheaper, I told them even though there car is £4k cheaper it does not make mine worth £4k less in the market, there's was £4k cheaper for a reason

It is boredom, yes. I have historically spent all my spare time buying, renovating and building houses, but that has come to an end at present for various reasons. I don't work much anymore either.
I have always liked cars but never, until now, had the spare cash, time or inclination to 'play' with cars. Then I buy them, don't really use them, so sell them then repeat. I need professional help TBH!
So you buy one and you dont need it, so dont use it.Pondrew said:Nictrix said:

I read through this thread with some interest and picked this comment out. What do you get out of owning the cars that interest you? For me it's a combination of driving enjoyment and sharing them with like minded people. I use my MX-5 more than my other cars because there's an active owners' club and frequent, local cars and coffee meet ups. I can easily organize or attend a run to drive the car as well as socialise with others that have interesting examples. Perhaps if you buy a car you're more likely to have a reason to use socially (not just as a practical means of transport) you'll get more out of it.
