I'm not sure who has a better deal in this day and age-the prudent man who has no debt, or the debtor who totally throws caution to the wind and goes into hock up to his ears and takes out credit cards on his cat's name, too. When the house of cards collapses, the prudent man with the bank...
Bailout
A bailout is when a company like GM steals money from the taxpayers to pay for its piss-poor financial decisions.
By buying their products you support this.
Next time you lose money on something let us know when you get your bailout.
50th "Anniversary"
If a couple gets married then divorced then remarried 7 years later when is their 50th anniversary? Hint, its not 50 years after their first wedding.
Wow
"Fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money, even in the post-QE world. If you have that much to burn or borrow, do yourself a favor and get the car that delivers M3-level power and 135i-level driver involvement. It’s called the Ford Mustang GT and you can use the ten grand you’ll have left...
There are great IT positions that pay you for every hour worked.
I wouldn't work an extra hour if it's not paid. Sorry, that is just plain ignorant from the worker standpoint.
Of course from an employer/manager standpoint they love the suckers that work > 40 without additional compensation.
Price - If you factor in cost many of us can get exactly the 5.0 MT PP we want for $7,500-$10,000 less than an M235i MT LSD. That alone turns most off to the BMW. BUT:
Performance - 5.0 by a slightest.
Looks - Both look GREAT.
Wheels - I personally love the PP rims. I really like the M235i...
M235i is $47,450 you didn't add the premium package.
The Mustang 400A is the Premium and includes the leather/heated seats too.
Mustang is < 40k.
BMW is bordering on 50k.
You can't get a comparable M235i even close in price to a comparable GT PP. Using Euro Delivery ruins your entire analysis.
Enjoy the BMW and it's "piped-in" fake soundtrack. ;)
