Turning a Porsche into a rod might seem an audacious miscarriage of class to some, but this particular one didn't turn out too badly:

Those Miuras came in fantastic colors.
Got behind a pristine example of a 740i Sport Short today and reminded me how much I'd still love to get an unmolested one. Black, white, or silver - man they were sharp cars.

Huge Porsche sell off happening now.
911 GT3 RS is under MSRP, used to be 100k over. 993T are about 120-130, used to be 170-200.

All of those F430s will need a engine out service, and a manifold recall done. So tack on another 12-15k. I promise they will need tires.
996tt didn't really go nuts, like the air cooled cars did.
If I were you, I would look at F355. Specifically a manual. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...5124/overview/
That's what I am looking for.

Don't feel like starting another what car thread cuz the knowledgeable car dudes hang here anyway. Any reason I shouldn't buy a 2014 535i xdrive with 25k on it for a steal? Wife needs a new daily driver. A3 was too small and felt like tin can.

The warranty? No. The cost is a sweetheart family deal and I know the history of the car. Just wondering if you guys know of any issues on the model. How about the snow performance? We have other rigs for the really bad storms.

I've owned a few of the late model BMs with the 3.5 and Xdrive. The issue that killed it for us was the fucking transmission. Ever since they went to drive by wire and that horrid box the things just went to shit. Most common issue was a random pulsing issue under acceleration in higher speeds. Read: passing on the highway, going uphill and needing more juice... you got this dead reaction followed by a random pulsing like it was either engaging or disengaging gear or was slipping gears. BMW (all of ours under warranty) said it was a simple software fix. Worked on X5's 1 and 2 but we bailed on number 3 after a few thousand miles. The brains that drive that system are shit. No new car, BM or Chevy or anything in between should do that - and I love BMWs. They drive great. The transmission on those years were shit.
Oh, and they were all great in the snow.I still call it The Jake.

Mechanics can do the manifold recall engine in, but most will charge to pull the engine, or will try. 8-15k is the range I have seen in cost.
General consensus on FerrrariChat is to go aftermarket. I never do that, becuase I always flip my cars. Fabspeed has a popular aftermarket solution, I believe.
So $84,350 of actual costs to own a $130k F430 for 5 years with 4k annual miles driven is my estimation. Again, keep in mind you should have an extra $15k fund for potential major repairs, but these seem to be rare on the F430 model. Note also that at only 5% return on your cash, opportunity cost of $130k over 5 years would add over $32,500 to your real cost.

I can probably get a F355 perfect, for around 10k. That's belt service and everything.
F430 is a bad bitch though, and a really good looking car. This one has CCBs on it. I see it falling more in value though. F355 is near bottom, and manuals can be had pretty easy for 70k. Put another 10-15 in it and wait a few years for it to double.
slick with the vintage HREs

That car is for sale. 15k I think, 146k miles. Slated for a rebuild with a prospective owner.
