I Won Nashville Opera Auction!!! Now What???

[Nick-NY]

I'd sell/trade the Z4, put a new 07/08 Box S on order and then sell the 00' box before the new one comes in.

or trade for a CPO Box S. :dance:

Sell both, buy later-generation Boxster-S and have fun, no question,

First sell what you hate -- the Z4. Then look at the cash as just that ($).
Since your box is still new to you, enjoy the experience and see if that is actually enough car for your needs. If so, invest the Z4 cash and continue with your life as if you hadn't won anything. If few years later you feel like upgrading, use the cash for that purpose, or use it for anything that may come up in the future. Having some $ powder dry (i.e. liquidity) is often underrated. It's a cheap option that allows you to shoot whenever and opportunity arrives in the future, and protects you from unforseen trouble down the road (including Box repair) -- hence it has value.

Hahaha, I knew this was the right place to go for advice. I am glad noone has commented "keep the z4" That is the response I am getting from friends and famiy (except my father who has owned 2 911s and a boxster). BMW convertible seems to have more flash factor and being married for 3 weeks now, I do not need flash factor.

Selling both or trading both for a newer boxster or boxster s is a good option.

Let me make this more difficult. I bought the wife a new toyota solara convertible last year- it is a wonderful car. By no means sporty, but it does the job. It is cheap to maintain and has a back seat. However, She has been talking about wanting an SUV. What do you all think about trading that and the z4 in for a cayenne or x3 or any other smaller SUV?

To take cash, they would only offer 10,000 dollars pre-tax. That is not an option.
