Lets just assume I get an M3 for $45k...with around 20k miles on it.
In three years the condition is good and miles are around 40k. My thoughts are the car would fetch 30-35k, in which case I'm out $275-500 per month. If I were to lease, there is no chance of getting anywhere near that price per month. I will be buying the car outright at the time of purchase, so if it does take a hit to carfax for whatever reason there is a depreciation risk. To clarify, I am not looking at this as an investment, but would like to go about it in an informed way.
The point of the thread was to gauge what you guys think will happen with the market in next say 3-12 months. I don't think prices will drop much, but I read somewhere that the end of production, announcement of new M, and lease returns may bring prices down in the near future. No clue if any of that is true or false, or if it will seriously impact pre-owned prices moving forward.
