i purschased my 03S about six weeks ago and paid $13K. It did have a $3,500 clutch 'this spring but no IMS so I'll have to do that. In the processs of general maint updates and other items that turned up in the PPI. I also put on new MPSS tire even though the Sumitomo's were 8/32. I just didn't likthe Sumitomo's. Without the tires I've spent about 3K. In any case I would have spent $16K on the right car if I didn't need to perform all the maint work.i would start at $16K.

I would recommend if you plan to sell, you better get busy doing it. Convertible sales get progressively harder after July 1.

I haven't bought anything recent but I'm ALWAYS more apt to buy during the winter time.

Best deal I did was in very late December of 2003,purchasing a $47,500 (sticker) 2003 BMW Z4 3.0 6 speed with 5,000 miles for $30.500.

Car was out of NJ and arrived in here in FL very dirty but without any issues.

Why was it a good deal? I drove it for 3.5 years and sold it with 24K miles for $26K. Car was under warranty the entire time of my ownership so no additional costs to me.

Fun car BTW, but I still think my current S is the best car I've owned.
