Ready to take the plunge! Bye bye E46 M3.

[DrVolkl]

About 2 years ago, I used to be able to do a search on Autotrader within 300miles of my house and be able to find a few 02+ cars...several 97-01's and a bunch of 91-96's.

Now I can do a 500 mile search from my home and there is ONE 2001...and 8 other older cars. (96 and older).

That's it....500 mile radius. 9 cars.
No 2002+

So, while I have considered trading up to a newer one...there just isn't anything nearby to even look at to tempt me!

I disagree with this, the 3.0 liter 5 speed is plenty fast for many people and is not far from an E46 M3(at least not with some bolt on I/H/E). It is true that you should test drive one before you buy(as with any car). However I would like to know where will you be able to find a NA2 hardtop for sale these days?

I daily drive my CTSCd NSX and have had no issues.

Unless you are used to something very cushy, an NSX is as good a daily driver as any sports car is, possibly the best at it IMO.

My cars is lowered just over 2 inches, too.
