Found a BMW car that might be in my price range. Well, I'm hoping the 4.2 million price tag was for the Z4 behind it.
I saw someone with a Z4 in Bacolod last year - parked at the Tyrol Restaurant. Dints, Scratches, Damage - nice car to have, but a b*tch to maintain the prestige of it here on the islands. I almost burst into tears when I see one of these prestige/luxury cars here on the roads. .
They are only 88k USD brand new (in the Philippines). I don't consider the Z4 a prestige sports car. But, for reasons you mentioned, I wouldn't give 20k USD for a used one that has been on the roads here for more than a year......and the way cars hold their value here I'll never own one. It really is quite humorous how much people think their cars are worth. A 20 year old multicab costs 2-3k USD here....where back in the real world it would be worth 400-600 USD at best. A couple years old banged up Z4 would never reach anywhere near half its msrp at auction in the US.
Caught this one (maybe repo?) tonight. Notice the back passenger wheel is of the ground. There is a crane yanking that sucker out of a parking spot. Maybe someone missed a couple payments.
