Guys,
just my 2 cents....
I would say you're a much richer person to buy a Brand new AUDI A4, even lowest spec, as compared to buying a R34, 350Z, or even a 2003 360 Modena if you can afford the installments. Why?
See, for most of us, having a performance car is not to own it forever, except for mr yong who had his R33 for "almost" forever
.
This also means we are renting the car i.e. baring the depreciation when reselling the car, with interest from the bank, exclude modification and other costs.
A GTR33, GTR34, 350Z, Evo 7-9...are amongst cars that has deprecisted to a market value which we can safely rent them for 2-3 years, without hurting the selling price later on. A 2003 Modena 360 will roughly costs you 700k if you're a serious buyer now. Depending how much you can get from the bank so you can afford one, i reckon you ownt have to even lose RM100k in reselling it 12~18 months later. 355 still costs 350k, a M3 will still costs 400k, even a SLK is sitll at 250k....how low can the Modena go in the next 2 years??
Same goes to GTR34. A decent R33 will easily fetch 100-120k, a R32..you know la. Even the Z now are stuck at 100-120K, newer ones at 150-170k. Getting a GTR34 now with 180k, have fun with her and probably be reselling her off within the next 3 years...i dont think you'll lose that much!!
go for it bro, own it while you can afford one. Getting a brand new 5 Series and AUDI from their showroom??....you know what happened once the number plate is on the car..30k off at least??

I really enjoy cars but 2-doors is off limit for me (I STILL WANTS AN E46 M3 CSL), but maybe have to settle for a CLS 350 instead ... 
Anyone interested to swap..?
