About to upgrade need input

[andrewwynn]

The search is over. We pick up the new ride today. No adaptive drive. The original owner seemed to have picked every available option for the inside and none for the outside (has the base wheels: ouch). It does have self leveling suspension whew.

Also has four zone climate including rear seat heat and comfort access.

74,000 miles. Other than my z28 which I bought with 91 miles (it had 65 before my test drive), I've never owned a car with so few miles. I wanted to get as low of miles as possible to get ahead of those "lifetime fluids" etc. Mission accomplished.

We borrowed some cash to stretch our budget to make it happen. We would have had to go over 110,000 miles to stay under our original budget.

Reminds me of my advice for buying a computer or audiophile speakers: figure out the absolutely maximum you can afford and add 20%.

Details to come in my intro to e70 thread

Congrats! You're going to love it! Maybe I missed it, but what engine did you end up going with? We're also going to need pics :p

50i. Very very happy. Absolutely a joy to drive. Faster than my z28 but 5+2 passengers!

Once the newness wears off, we can start to figure out what kind of mpg we actually will get.

"Show off mpg" just about 8.0.
