So yeah have fun lighting money on fire, it looks like an awesome car. This yeah, I am sure their cars are all almost collector grade, but man I wish I had the kind of money to not really blink at the EAG premium

There seems to be a $10k range where they all hover, might as well put some miles on it since it probably won't change the value much. Is there a big difference between selling one with 10k miles vs. 12k miles? fknlo posted:This is me with my S2000. I hadn't planned on selling it but I was gonna pick up a higher mileage one that I would drive more but prices went sideways fast. It's crazy out there. My car is worth double what I paid. I was comfortable tracking a car that cost under $40K but once a couple BaT Exiges cleared $75K things changed. So now I have an expensive car that is worth more than I'm comfortable using for track days and probably too valuable to do the mods that I want to do. In an ideal world I'd find a salvage Elise and get aftermarket Exige clams, do a K24a swap, suspension, and be under $40K. But I don't think that's remotely possible; a salvage flood title Exige just went through auction for over $30K. I think an ND2 with track mods would be fun but every time I drive the Exige I can't imagine owning anything else. Seems like you can still find decent prices on s2ki, right? Or maybe just accept that S2000s are probably $10K higher across the board.

For some reason, it just has this very old school feel to it that I really like. Hopefully Emira reviews start coming out soon. That's a car that seems like it might be pretty interesting for people looking to branch out beyond Caymans. And there's a Lotus dealer here in Denver.  Which is helpful, because the car will be spending lots of time there.

I never thought I'd sell the M3 but with what they're going for now I will probably let it go in the next few months. I feel bad that I never got it on track but now between value and parts availability I would be too worried about something going wrong to drive the car how it's meant to be. For now I'm planning on holding onto the M5 because it's just a wonderful car but if someone offered enough I'd let that one go as well.
