It's completely dependent on your area. Would you be looking to buy through a dealer or private party?

Preferably through a private party, though I'm willing to do a dealership. I'm in a small city near Memphis, TN

Can't believe I posted this literally this morning just to change it today.

In my garage:







It was weird to be driving something that everybody was staring at.

WAAAA

I want thing so bad! XR, you're so lucky!

I feel that a new Rolls would be a huge waste of money for not enough luxury (even with some of the highest luxury among automobiles), which is why only people who are drowning in their millions buy them.

What you're really paying for is the name. There are Mercedes, Bentleys, and even certain custom high end Land Rovers that are a similar level of luxury but for a way more reasonable price.

Should have gotten an i8 instead of an i3.

Should have gotten an i8 instead of an i3.

Just a couple hours ago I was back in the BMW dealer. They had a blue i8 in the showroom and I was walking around it looking inside. I opened one of the doors (scissor style) and it is so freaking light. There is so much bare carbon fiber on the internal unimportant parts like the door seals and under the side skirts.

Btw, price was $147,000, and people were offering over 180 trying to buy out other offers.

So, anybody know what cars I should look for? (Refer to my other 2 posts in this thread)

[Caution]

Holy stuff XR, I'm jealous.

Max price?

RIP i3. It got returned to the dealer :(

why is it the wrong place? isnt it there to add weight to the back wheels for better acceleration grip?
mid engine? what is this witch craft

so what it has good grip when taking off in a straight line

It also causes under steer because the front wheels have less grip

Mid engine allows for better weight distribution because it brings the center of gravity closer to the actual center of the car.  This allows for a happy balance of acceleration grip and cornering grip.

Awesome but I hate the look of the car
