I found a 07 Turbo, manual with 42K miles. Supposed it's been cared for properly (I'll do PPI), will I be looking at any big ticket items for the next 2 years? I plan to drive about 3000 miles per year. No track use.

I am presenting this car to my wife as an investment, which will not depreciate like our other cars but would actually gain value. Don't laugh :-)

Thanks!

I think this applies to 2007 as well.

That is a brilliant move! And may I be the first to inform you that this trick has been tried before and that the lovely wife will see right through it! Dark chocolate also helps...

Counting on appreciation with a Turbo is just setting you up for failure with the wife. I agree the cars are relatively price protected, but they still cost money, not the other way around. I'd be lying if I said I didn't take the lower rate of depreciation into account when I bought my car, but that just decreases the overall cost of ownership in the long run.

I love my wife very much, but I'll never understand this "if my Wife lets me" sentiment.......maybe I'm just lucky?

Sam here. I didn't tell my other half I was buying one. Just got home and asked her to come help with the groceries...

well, this guy is either a tire kicker or my price is out of range.........what a waste of time that was

German_Saint

funny. Your looking at 2k if it hasn't had the major. 1,750ish on tires. that'll be it. if just oil changes $400 at the top end of range.
