I was thinking the same thing.... 80k on a car, working a job that's here today and could be gone tomorrow... Don't get me wrong, I'd love a 2011 M3 sedan, my little dude can ride in the back no problem.. But 50k for a used one, I can't justify. Now if I had a wife that made fat stacks, then maybe I'd take the plunge and buy one. Not banking on a huge pay raise next contract either....
