Maybe you should just drop the S65 into the Aston then you’ll have a nice FrankenCar

Don't sell yours for anything less than $36k if in great condition.

He’s offering me $36,500 and I owe $25k

With that many cars, and with one being a more practical one (the Range Rover, despite being a meme-tier car that will likely be in the shop every month), the M3 could probably go.

The Aston is no M3, but it's still a fucking Aston and I'm sure is a lot of fun to drive.

That's a great price. I'd take it.

Nobody has said anything about the F generation cars, and your comment about the GT3 is moronic (at best).

If possible, I would hang on to the car for a while, you can store it for now if you're not driving it. You can always sell it later.

Lolololl does every Aston owner have a low IQ, or are you a special circumstance? Either way I’m glad I decided against the Aston many years ago thanks to you

carenthuziast · 03-27-2018, 11:52 AM

you can't have two wives just like you can't have two sport coupes. You bought the AM and have a seller for the M3...move on.

pbonsalb · 03-27-2018, 11:53 AM

How much garage space do you have? Keep the cars you want to drive and maintain and sell the ones you don’t. If getting at the $10k equity in your M3 matters, then the cost of maintaining another car might matter as well. Personally, I would have no interest in the Aston Martin because I don’t care about status symbols and it is likely to be an expensive pain in the rear to keep on the road. I’d get rid of the Range Rover and Firebird as well. At least you have one good car, but given your interests, it makes sense to sell it.

HadesM3 · 03-27-2018, 12:21 PM

Sell the M3!

If you miss it in the future then buy another. There are plenty of 50k m3s if you look hard enough.

LOOOL

///M3Fresh · 03-27-2018, 12:44 PM

I think that is a good price on the M3. Sell it, you already made up your mind, you don't need to justify it here....

If it was me, unless it was a V10 or older (think classic) Aston I wouldn't keep the V8 Van. Id rock the M3 and keep the TA! Maybe add a all around DD Golf-R?

Candide13 · 03-27-2018, 01:34 PM

What we really want to see is an in-depth, full-bore comparison between the M3 the Aston and the 1978 Pontiac Trans Am....

Youtube platinum guaranteed..

You never heard about a harem ?

BGBF18 · 03-27-2018, 02:35 PM

Tough choice honestly.

Good friend had an '07 AM and it was beautiful inside and out. The exhaust bark at start and above 4K RPM sold me on it, but alas, it felt slower and the driving esthetics, less special when compared to my M3.

The AM struck me as more show than go. Still, when I have the means, an AM V-8 Vantage will compliment my M3. You can't beat the semi-exotic value of the late 2000's Vantages, they are a lot of car for the money.

Also, you live in VA, so you are probably better off selling the higher-revving M3 since you're into jail-time speeds at the top of 2nd gear anyway...
