The guys I talked to said there were some early problems that resulted in buybacks, but they have all been fixed and the repair is free of charge. They said they wouldn't be worried about buying one.

 

And yeah, I've been working with some guys for CA and a few of them got 500e's for less than 100/month.

 

Sorry for hijacking a Lambo thread into a 500e chat.

500E is more exciting than a clapped out lambo

Yeah, knowing the reason for the buy back and seeing the service history can increase confidence, if you intend to keep it for a while.

 

There were several Fiat 500e buybacks in CA with very low miles for $10-12k. I've considered picking one up and having it shipped as a commuter.

I almost bought one in Chicago, that a dealer ended up getting stuck with. Zero chance for any local dealer to service it scared me away.

Tons of them have issues, look in the Texas area. A lot of the buy back:lemon branded 500e end up there. It's a much better car than my Abarth, wish they sold them here.

A bunch of people leased them for 89$ a year or so ago, it would literally pay for itself.

i have seen them under 70k...early R8 heading down too. Aston Martin Vantage-really many Aston can be bought reasonably. GTR under 50k. How many headaches do you want?

Solid 3-Pedal Gallardo were never under 70k. Prices have slightly risen over the past year or so. A 3-Pedal Gallardo that doesn't have higher mileage, is still over $100k.

Over 14k Gallardos were made, it's not a rare car. I would never even think about buying one with, higher miles, rough interior and a sound system installed by Xzibit.

Attempting to resell it would be annoying. Bottom barrel priced cars bring those kinda buyers..... It would take forever to get rid of, and a rough example will end up needing some service, which isn't worth any minimal savings.

RUN

6 owners. Ugly wrap, and wheels that belong on a 350z 10 years ago

You can find much better.

A bunch of wonderful roads in that area.

I spend a lot of time out that way, when the season dies down.

Im out 2-3x a week.

Currently beached, and having some lunch

That's Rutledge woods. Hard times with the cancellation of top gear? Ha

Probably should let him know, posting his cell number online isn't a good idea.

Everyone's read and understands that. You're still missing the point of sharing this.

To spread misinformation?

Obamas comin to take mah guns too

Thanks,

Aside from the floaty, soft suspension these are excellent bikes. Comfortable, and extremely reliable.

Thanks for following up.

 

The meeting went well, but I decided it wasn't the right move for me. So a day later I went and got a commercial loan for 150k to buy more rentals. Currently in the process of buying 4 more, then will repeat. I've decided I'm all in on real estate.

Much smarter play.

Goodluck mang

The HotRod magazine YouTube channel has a series called engine masters where they did a late model hemi. I think it posted some pretty solid numbers.

With the same dyno room operator ha

Testarossa.

Doesn't get anymore 80s!

Cavs fans are feeling mighty brave on social media...

Foot in mouth.

Insane to not suffer heart break. Not sure how to even react!

Nba rigged, that's great.

Let's just say the officials are in, only so much they can possibly do.

To even consider the players are in on something, is down right hillarious. If that were the case, something would have surfaced by now. These are people who the large majority cannot manage a check book, pay taxes, or stay out of trouble with the law.

WTF? Do you have any experience in a Daycare business? And how/why would it be so expensive? You could start up like 40 Subways for that LOL

 

 

I had 5 rentals at one time. I am down to one double. Cash out while the market is high, I think we are about at peak for home values, but if the cash flow is better than 35-40% market cap, just sit back and count money.

 

My recommendation, if you are not liquid with a minimum of 3 years reserved+your investment, just try a non-cor HR job unless you are willing to file BK if it goes belly-up.

 

My company for example is largish (2500+ employees, nation wide branches), but not at all cooperate. We have a "corporate headquarters" but the HR is a joke. Im shocked they get paid to do what they do to work as little as they do. You may love the change of pace coming from a rigid corp job.

 

Good luck in what you chose.

Subways stink. You need to own a bunch to see any real return, and it will become a 24/7 JOB.

Franchises stink. I know someone who owns a few daycare franchises, it's far from rainbows and unicorns. Is there any exact reason you feel the need to dip into that pond? Unless you really know the business, you're setting yourself up for failure.

Tossing money at something doesn't always make it work.

There are very few motors, and shops that rebuild are booked 6 months+ out. A running used motor is generally around $10k give or take a couple, and rebuild will run $15k-$18k. Once the motor goes, a clean roller is worth usually $5kish. That being said, working on them isn't hard, parts are comparable to bmw parts $ and the failures are well known.

 

Only 300 hp, but the performance is very strong for that power level. Stock for stock a 996 will be .3-.5 behind a 5.0 coyote stang in the 1/4, and about equal at autox on the same tires.

The 996 has an interior that doesn't really age well..... It looked old new... You can get the same performance for much less, and from much more reliable cars...

Motor goes and it's probably not in the OP budget to replace, considering he's strictly looking at vehicles within a certain budget.

Dailys/Beathers: Civics, Fit, Sunfire.

 

More fun cars: B5 (2000) S4, Focus SVT, 92 DSM (turbo AWD).

 

 

 

Because of condition or? Any better ideas in that price range?

Not all of us can afford Lotui for our fun fleet.

Lotus are cheap.

The base 996 in stock form isn't anything to write home about. Sure you can pick one up for a cheap, but keeping it running will be another story. If something happens to the motor, it will cost nearly as much as the purchase price......

That's the c4 ZR1, going to be hard to get a convertible since they only made 1 and it fell into a sink hole.

 

Still, as someone who grew up with a c4 zr1 targa, the car is fucking fantastic.

Not a fan of corvettes, but I've wanted a c4 zr1 forever. Maybe one day I will take up smoking and purchase some gold chains.

What cars have you previously owned?

Most likely you will be let down by a 996 in your price range. Not worth all the potential issues, and massive price costs for parts for the lack of performance.
