unless you are in dire need of money, you should keep it. 1700 miles of excitement thats worth more then any asking price.

Is that really that low? Seems like you got it out more than a few times.

Don't wait for it to appreciate. It's not going to appreciate faster then the market. If you do part out. Dibbs on the cobb. Seriously.

1,700 miles could be a lot of fun.
If you don't need the money, who cares? Keep it and when you get the itch to do and drive it, then DRIVE it.

We (the majority) do not buy cars as an investment. Do not speculate hoping for an increase in value in a year or two.

I love to drive. I feel for you. I have 4 perfectly capable vehicles. I could work from home but I MAKE myself drive to the office...because I want to drive.

I only put about 3,000 miles on my turbo...but those are some fun 3,000 miles. I put another 3,000 miles on my GT-R and another 4,000 or so on the C63...another 6,000 on the Xterror. That is what I call equal opportunity driver.

I agree, I do enjoy it when I drive it with out a doubt. I didn't buy it as an investment at all. I just thought of that when I read a few theads on here. Figured it would be nice to make a few bucks than lose thousands for once.. Who knows, I'm putting it back on insurance next week we'll see if I've changed my tune then.

So today I had to go take emissions test, which I failed..all because I don't drive the car enough after the last time it was flashed, so I had to get a hold of Mitch to find out if there was anything I had to do. The only thing I had to do was go drive it! After putting on around 60 miles today, I decided to keep it. This car is just too perfect to sell due to my lack of driving it.

Mitch-Thank you for always helping out!! Anyone that is looking for a flash look no further than Cobb & Mitch. I don't think you will find any tuners out there that go above and beyond for their customers pre/post sale that these guys do.

Good decision. If you sold it, I think you would miss it.

Supposed to be in the 70's today in chicagoland. Good day to take the turbo for a spin! Which HRE's do you have on your '07? Bet it looks sinister in black.

Looks like Supercar Saturdays is going to start back up on May 2, at the Promenade in Bolingbrook. Usually some nice cars there, and good people to talk to. Have you ever checked it out?

You're right! perfect day for the turbo! I have the P43's on it,they're like a gunmetal color. Yes, supercar saturdays is awesome! I take my S4 there too many people that want to put their dick beaters on the cars. I don't like people touching my turbo.

As said, part out the mods. Sell it stock.

And then...buy 1 year old M3/M4 and drive it everywhere


EDIT: Just read above, congrats on keeping it!

Thanks! Now it's time for some more parts. Maybe some new turbos.
