I am thinking more and more of selling my Jeep Wrangler and buying acouple year old e46. Here is a sampling why- My Jeep is a 2000 Wrangler Sahara, loaded, auto, ac, 64k, etc. I owe $10k on it. I can get a comfortable $13-14k for it with what it has right now. I spend over $100 a week on gas, since they get 10mpg modded! Yeah, it sucks. I also pay $314/month on it.
I am seeing that I can pick up an 01 325 or 330ci for under $15k. I am also seeing cheaper insurance and much better gas mileage. So, I got to thinking, if I can come to terms with getting rid of my beloved Jeep, I can take what I have left over, and put it down, as well as a few thousand from a settlement I have on its way, and not only lower payments A LOT, but also save almost $250 a month in fuel alone. So, I am asking everyone what they would do.
To me, its a matter of doing what makes sense, or keeping my big offroad toy that isn't practical for daily use, but I keep it anyhow.
What would you do???? Working on the e30 lately has been making me think about another (this would be BMW #4).
