There are a couple I see in my area. A red and a black. Both have older male doctor types driving. It doesn't matter at the end of it all. Do what makes you happy. We are all going to die.

^^^ very true. I know I'd have to have quite a discount to consider buying a used one that was not exactly what I would have specced anyway. Not to mention shipping, inspection costs as well as concerns about proper break in, less warranty coverage, etc... I know that I considered a MY 2007/2008 GT3, but had to find a perfect cream puff, with my options, colors AND a price at least $35-$40k less than a 2010 to make me consider it. One...

imho, if $2500 is the limit you have set for yourself, then start out lower. Eventually you and the dealer will reach that $2500 (or even lower) and you've made your deal. Why do you insist on starting out at the limit you've given yourself? It makes no sense. You have to set a limit on any sale of any kind. Otherwise emotion sets in and you're all over the place. Set $2500 as your highest price. But don't start from there....

OP is thinking with his emotions! listen to gonzo he knows what he is talking about! OP obviously has no car buying or negotiating skills or experience.

I've had to take my E90 for scheduled service and a few other things and I've never waited more than 3 days to get my car worked on. I guess it's the luck of the draw when it comes to dealers.
