Yeah great point - before I get ready to sell the M5, I’ll look for a beater, or something to hold me over. Read more

Well, the problem was I was coming up to the point of needing new tires and brakes and that would’ve cost close to $3K. If I did that, I couldn’t have done that sold it right away - monthly payments would’ve skyrocketed! Read more

You’re correct - it takes a lot of time to do this. But if it works well, then it’s worth all the time and effort! Read more

Yeah, it all comes down to how much you can sell the car for vs. what you paid for it including repairs, taxes, fees etc. Also, like you mentioned, keeping the car a short amount of time helps minimize the probability that something major breaks. Read more

Yes, it’s a hassle! I’m sure I’ll get sick of it some day and stop. But for now there are just so many cars to drive I must keep doing this - it’s a sickness. Read more

Yeah I thought about that....will need to look into that for sure. No sales tax definitely makes things much easier. Read more

Totally! Most people spend money on something - I have a buddy who spends tons and tons of money on buying expensive photography equipment, way more than I spend on cars. Read more

Yeah, I thought about that, but the only thing is as soon as I get the daily driver, I wouldn’t want to drive the backup LS400 anymore. But, long term, what would be really cool is to do this with 2 cars, but need to build up some funds before doing that! Read more

Yeah, I can see getting burned out on doing something like this for long. Sounds like you got to drive some pretty cool cars....that must have been a lot of fun. Read more

The only problem is I wouldn’t be able to find something like an AMG or a 911 to rent for around $500 or lower.   Read more

That’s a good point, leasing is an option for sure. I do know someone that bought a Ferrari 360 for $75K, drove it for a year and then sold it for the exact some price. Can’t do that just yet, but hopefully some day! Read more

haha...yeah I’ll need a backup some day. It’s worked out reasonably well so far. Read more

That’s awesome...yeah I can see how you could get really attached to a car - emotional bond! Read more
