I would love to own a Ferrari, but I don't have the time nor the patience to maintain one. I live in a small town, and getting parts would not be that easy of a task.

Now a Corvette, I could get. In fact last year I could have purchased one, but did not. I bought a BMW instead. (They basically offered me $15,000 off the price on a new BMW, I couldn't resist that.) This is not the only reason I didn't buy the Vette. One is that resale value with Vette's is not that great. After four or five years, when GM has a new model out, the value just drops. My last BMW held it's value really well. Second, GM is not known for quality. Well, not recently anyhow. My last GM just fell apart on me while under warranty. It was in the shop at least once a month, getting something done. That just drove me nuts! Both BMW's have not done that to me.

My car is not as fast as a Vette, but it will be there in 5 years, looking much as it does now. The fun part is that it may handle as well as a Vette. Here is what I did buy:

[QUOTE="Grendels, post: 26465, member: 672"] I would love to own a Ferrari, but I don't have the time nor the patience to maintain one. I live in a small town, and getting parts would not be that easy of a task. Now a Corvette, I could get. In fact last year I could have purchased one, but did not. I bought a BMW instead. (They basically offered me $15,000 off the price on a new BMW, I couldn't resist that.) This is not the only reason I didn't buy the Vette. One is that resale value with Vette's is not that great. After four or five years, when GM has a new model out, the value just drops. My last BMW held it's value really well. Second, GM is not known for quality. Well, not recently anyhow. My last GM just fell apart on me while under warranty. It was in the shop at least once a month, getting something done. That just drove me nuts! Both BMW's have not done that to me.
