This is why I am Eagerly anticipating the M2, and if that does not appeal on to the smurf blue M3 ED <snip>

Ahh.. the A plan. A million years ago when there was a Ford Aerospace I had to deal with that. Good luck with the dealers.
Still, you get to the root of the issue. With some patience, a BMW M2 may be a reasonable cost/performance choice with ED. Maybe $50K? That and maybe a less expensive Euro will hang in there for awhile longer to make for a fun trip. The GT350 on the other hand will likely sour after a dealer visit puts the famously ethical Ford Motor in sharp contrast with a justifiably hated dealership system. That leaves the Focus RS. It may be available in enough numbers and will be confusing enough to the dealer Bubba's that the buying experience won't be so bad. If it hits $40K, then it's back to BMW. However, if it's cheap, and fast, and fun, and has as good an interior as a Golf R, then things get interesting. |
Very cool. What did you do within the aerospace program?
A-plan is great if your buying an escape haha, the minute you try to get something cool and premium they start rolling their eyes at you! I just wait it out! I said til the car is out for over a year and then they beg for you to buy it.
What can I say about the dealerships that you don't already know! They're absolutely atrocious and think they know everything and you're always wasting their time! This culture needs to change they give FoMoCo a bad image.
Hell 2 weeks ago my Ford lease needed an oil change and it became such a hassle because I couldn't make the dealership by 4pm because their "awesome" techs leave at 5! Guy literally laughed at me and said shhhhaaah you want an oil change today? Yeah not today? Like I was asking him for his weekly salary smh. Needless to say it was a frustrating ordeal they act like total dicks.
@bmw they say oh yes sir Mr. Doss it'll be a couple hours would you like loaner to run chores while we service your car?!
Anyway I like your plan! I think most certainly I'd love a focus RS, but I'm also going to wait out the M2! I think it will be that good! I think it will be E46 M3 epic even bigger
