Older home vs new BMW 328i

[APE907]

Deprecating asset vs Appreciating asset.

Unless the home is situated on a nuclear waste dump it is a far better place to put your money.

Home.
Fix it..
You can always by a BMW later..

[Coach is Back!]

If your car is worth more than a home....

Comparing a Corvette to a Camry, yeah that makes sense.  In that video the Camry was faster around the track too. 

I guess you fail to understand the point of "fun".

Nobody had a good time in the Camry.  Everyone had a good time in the old vette.  Hope this helps.

Which would you choose. The house is older and needs repairs.

The BMW will give you the power to drop panties.

The downside of you choose the BMW is that you continue to live in a 1960's one bed one bath apartment.


What would you do?

Unless you want the gals to drop panties in your BMW, you should consider going for the house. On the other hand, should you become homeless, a BMW might be considered nice digs. A 1960's one bedroom and one bath apartment seems like a hovel.

Don't get a new BMW or any BMW past 2005. Pieces of shit and will fall apart on you after 50-60k miles with astronomical repair bills for "specialty" BMW parts straight from Germany.

Every other fucker has a 3 series where I come from, or an Audi A3/4...boring. The house is an investment and a project. The car's novelty will wear off within a couple of weeks. I bought a brand new fiesta ST last year for the Mrs and I personally already want to get it remapped/tuned.

The new ford fiesta is a chav's car if there ever was one.

Meh, I can deal with who they attract, because chavs seem to like most hot-hatches, so you're buggered either way. It's the same as how Mercs/Bimmers/Vws/Audis have been commandeered by "ethnic minorities" and when I look at them now am instantly reminded of them, yet I'd still happily have an E46 M3...you take that mentality what are you left with? If it drives well and is good value for money, I'm happy.

Plus it does 38 to the gallon at 14k mileage. Not many petrol sports cars do that.

What I mean is that the aesthetics of a ford fiesta st are chavy.

I mean look at it:

Yes, when shit like that's done to it.

The factory model I think looks just fine.

Its my wifes car to be honest and I never drive it really.  I have a really old Mercedes for myself.

I am looking at getting something else soon.  A few years ago I had a 1966 Cadillac Coupe De Ville Convertible which I sold to a The Auto Collections in Vegas which is a car museum/hotel/casino there.  I want another one or maybe a Delorean or Austin Healey.  Have not decided at all yet.

I would gladly own any of these oldschol american cars for weekend rides, but it's a completely different cup of tea/different eras of cars, I'm sure one could find positives in these, it doesn't mean the new ones are crap tho'. I would not like to go on a long trip in a 60's caddilac, well at least not regulary.
