List your previous cars

2009 Lancer GTS. Only car worth mentioning. Power mods from and installed by RRM. Loved that car. Perfect for DD. Had pretty much anything you would want in a car but I wreck it and didn't wanted to start over with another GTS. Bought that car in late march 2008!.

oh man, sorry to hear that, but in terms of a fun, cheap car, it can't really be beat... I do however, want an E92 M3 sooo bad. That and an E39 M5 are my dream cars

and to keep on topic, my MS3 is my first car, I did however drive my mom's 2001 BMW X5 3.0i for a few months before I got my Mazda...

I just lost a eBay auction for an Avus M5- but my BMW dealer just took an Anthracite 2000 in trade so I may wind up with another M car yet. It's either that or put @$1500 into the MS3.

There are very few b5 s4 owners that won't tell you they love their cars but also that the honest truth is they are absolute money pits and at best are probaly diy project cars. I can't imagine trying to maintain mine at a shop. On the upside, without a turbo upgrade I'm at 280awhp/330ft/lbs and in the high 12s -low 13s

Car evolution

1969 Chevrolet Caprice 2 door w/327 and power windows
1984 Dodge Daytona - started to fall apart right after warranty expired
1985 Toyota Corolla SR5 RWD coupe - 175,000 miles
1992 Buick LeSabre - totaled by engine fire at 65,000 miles
1996 Nissan Maxima SE 5 speed - 171,000 miles
2006 Mazda 3s hatch - great car traded in for:
2008.5 Mazdaspeed3 Metro Gray - 22,000 miles so far. I love it but the hatch rattling is driving me nuts.

 

[pcpower]

here is my list, somewhat embarassing. if I had kept even a couple of these cars a bit longer I wouldn't have wasted thousands of dollars on new cars. at least I never really paid over invoice though:

2002 honda civic
2005 vw gti (this car was AWESOME when chipped, so friggen fast. never should have traded it in).
2007 toyota camry
2008 nissan altima coupe (1st gen, way too many creaks and rattles)
2008 nissan altima sedan
now I have my 2009 MS3 and I will keep it a loooooooong time. not only does it rock but also I have a mortgage now and therefore no spending money... yay.

Thought it might be fun to list your previous rides prior to owning, or leasing, your current MS3. I'll start:

2008 BMW M3
2006 Volvo S60R
2007 VW Passat wagon 3.6
2006 Infiniti M45
2004 Volvo S60R
2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe
2002 Nissan Maxima
1997 Volvo 850R
1995 Volvo 850 Turbo
1992 Nissan Maxima
1989 Civic Sri

That's it for now, there are many others, some good, some not so good, and some I just forgot!

Your turn

Unless you leased those vehicles each year, I can see why your business has gone downhill the last few years.

 

[slashsnake]

Well I think my father in law's found my MS3 (have to buy all cars through his dealership, or he disowns us... Like I want his GM stock anyways, but he is laxing on his "must buy Pontiac or Chevy" stance so here we go).

So when I pick that up around new Years... I will have owned.

08 Xterra off-road (keeping this, gets to be the wifes car)
98 Chevy Z-71 pickup
01 Pontiac Grand Am SE (wife's car when we met)
98 Integra GSR (friend hit me from behind and totaled it, had it 9 months)
98 Integra Type-R (he had good insurance)
85 Ranger 2WD
68 CJ-5 (Miss this one the most)
89 corsica (bought for 300 bucks, put 150k more on it and sold it for 300)
81 Honda CB 750
94 Ninja ZX6 (totaled it)
99 GSX-R 750 (totaled it)

Unless you leased those vehicles each year, I can see why your business has gone downhill the last few years.

My business slowdown is the result of the economic downturn, not the purchases of expensive cars, and I bought all of the them, never leased.
