I just blew my coin budget on a BMW

Jesus, what was I thinking. And wouldnt you know it, I found a type one SLQ today that i freakin fell in love with. But alas, the money is already gone.

On the plus side however, I sell BMWs so at least I know I got a good deal. (my salesman was me)

    Get rid of the Beemer. Buy coins.

    actually, a BEEMER is a BMW motorcycle, a BIMMER is a BMW car.

    Good choice. I bought one last year as my screenname would attest. Fun cars.

    BMWs are great cars. In my scheme, coin money is discretionary/entertainment. Cars are more of a necessity.

    If you work on commission you could pay yourself a nice one so you could buy more coins.image

    Why buy? You can just drive the dealership demos. A new one every year. image

    Never heard that before!

    I must say though- I might part with some coin money to have a BMW Motorcycle like the one James Bond had a few movies back!

    The Beemer is worth less the moment you drive it out of the show room.

    Coins, on the other hand, won't be worth less until the current bubble bursts.

    Ill tell you this coin, prices sure havent busted this month. Wait till the new cdn sheets hit the folks that recieve thier copy by mail. This month was one of the greatest across the board price increases in recent memory?

    I can't blame you for buying a BMW ...as you are a BMW salesperson. They are great cars. I'm on my third one, a 2003 - 325Ci-S. As I live in Fla, the tops down alot.

    Collecting SLQ's is a passion of mine as well.

    Hey Nic, A M5 is a cool car. Still I'm partial to the mighty Subaru Sti. It's faster than any BMW plus you have money left over for coins image

    I got a three series.

    To whoever said just drive the dealership demos........those days are unfortunately over, except for the owner and GM usually.

    And Nic, an M5 is an INCREDIBLE car.

    I'd rather drive a crap car and have a cool coin any day.


    Oh, wait...I do drive a crap carimage

    BigE, I always drive whatever's dirty that has gas in it. I hate to waste a $100 detail to drive one home and back. image

    I used to sell cars also . . . I'm with the drive a demo idea, and buying coins instead.
