2019 and newer M2 competition has 40 more hp as they installed the M3/M4 motor
That 2017 almost fooled me because it has different wheels than I am used to seeing on a 2017. I like the wheels. I hope those stripes are vinyl and can be peeled off…

I agree on the miles and price for sure, but I’m also sure that @roadburner would prefer a 2019 or newer M2 Competition with a manual transmission. I don’t see any documentation of the M service at 1200 miles on that 2017, which is important to M aficionados.
@andres3 perhaps should zip up to Seattle and pick up the 2017 M2 DCT?? $20k for new motor in S4 vs $49k for M2 including motor??
Busy morning as the sprinkler guy came to fix what turned out to be a broken pipe. One zone wasn't getting anything due to the broken pipe but now, we're up & running again. Still waiting on the folks to get back to me about the bathroom faucet replacement and have to get the handyman to deal with the pantry issues plus the garage shelves. It's always something with home ownership it seems but since we're staying for the time being, gotta repair a few things going forward.

Exactly; aside from the sheetmetal, a 2016-2018 M2 is just not that different from my M235i- same engine(albeit with more hp) and the same interior. I could add a CarBahn tune(+72 hp) and the M Performance diff to my car and it would likely be faster on the street and the track. so what's the point?

Gee, I never thought about it but I guess that is something that would get an Alaskan excited about “in late December”.

Oh yeah, I wasn't suggesting this was the Roadburner special. I do know there are some others around here interested in M2's. This car is pretty interesting as it has those wheels, which I've learned are the 763M style which were a $4000 option, as well as the M Performance exhaust ($3K option), M Performance bodykit, Exec package, DCT and of course those wacky vinyl stripes. I'll bet the original sticker on this car was pretty impressive. I don't think the sunroof was available until 2018. Anyway, seems like a solid deal for the right person.

I know in our case, my wife will get tired of fixing these little things sooner than later, and just want to be done with it & move on to something new. And I suppose I'll be there with her if mine continues to act up...luckily, things have been relatively quiet except for the hood prop rod having no more gas in the shock to hold it open by itself. Bringing in a container with windshield washer fluid tomorrow to get my friend to hold the hood open as I refill the fluid container. Just something really very minor that needs to be addressed.
Since she'll be car-less tomorrow, took her to Publix to get some lunch/dinner & some ice cream so she'll be all set. I won't be that far away if her vehicle gets finished or we can go get it once I get off. Still brought up her taking the Golf for the day as I can easily get a lift home, but again, she declined. I'd hate to be stuck here without any wheels just in case I want to get out.

On the hood struts, those are really easy to replace, I think they usually run about $20-30 each at an auto parts store, and usually just need a flathead screwdriver (and perhaps a second person to hold up the hood).
Or and old broom handle. In fact, you can use the broom handle as a permanent support like some cheapo did that I worked with years ago. It worked. He didn’t have any knots on his head.

I really consider the M235i to be more of a Junior GT than a sports car. This week while my son was home we drove it most of the time; my wife didn't even mind riding in the back...

These two points found in the intro are particularly worthy of note:
— By the end of 2021, some 17 million consumers—the equivalent of a full year’s sales—will own vastly overpriced used vehicles. This number is growing by close to 2 million used-car buyers a month.
— Over half of these overpriced vehicles are financed, posing potential risks to lenders and investors in the $1.4 trillion auto-loan business. Moreover, these buyers will have little to no equity in their cars making future car purchases unaffordable.

I’d be tempted on that S-Type in Grey with Red. I like that combo. My selling dealer has an S-Type coming in, but he doesn’t know if it will hit the lot before the sale of the dealership goes through. He’s trying to move as much as he can. They do have a decent pre-owned Acura inventory, though. Probably off-lease vehicles.
But, tax liability would be minimal. By the time I paid the taxes on the delta in price between mine and the new one $150-$200) aside from getting a new TLX, with zero miles, I’m still driving the same car.
S-Type may make me budge, but right now that’s iffy, at best.

Mechanic decided to give me a heart attack today and send me these pictures with no explanation.
Then he called and said it is nothing terribly scary but keeps finding leaks as he goes and he is just replacing every seal along the way, along with both motor mounts and the trans mount. Says it will be a new truck when he is done.

Are you sure that thing is out of your car? The size of that beast looks like it came out of a metro bus.

Is it up on cars and bids yet?

I think it’s worth about the same as the buyout, possibly slightly more. I’m not completely sold on owning it long term, and I’d strongly consider leasing a Tacoma if they are still leasing in the $3-400s in August.
As to not being able to afford a car, when did that ever stop people from buying?

waiting to hear back from them on the cheap Ford financing then have to get added to insurance, and figure out a time to go pick it up. Hoping for Friday morning since the wife has to work Thursday, and she is my ride over (I really should start buying cars at the dealer I can walk to!). Plus I need tomorrow to clean out the garage bay since I need that back, and it needs to be deeper than before since the new car is about 7" longer than my last one (but a little skinnier).
Certainly hope the wife likes it. If not, might not be around long! And I will almost feel guilty running it through Carmax Friday night...

Everything will be all right as long as you only park on your side of the garage.

I think you did well--given the Maverick's production constraints, I'd be hesitant to order one with a factory tonneau or anything other than the extremely common options like a spray-in bedliner.
actually the spray in liner was a limited availability option too but I ordered that anyway. I took the cover off when I put in the order because the dealer said it was really delaying builds. that is pretty easy to add on later.

In case anyone is keeping track, we’re 4 days post snow event and the only cleared road in my area is I-5. Seattle really cannot do snow.
As for me, I’m tired of being cooped up so I got my ice driving confidence back after an hour in a church parking lot. Now it’s just dodging everyone else.
Outages are expected, so hopefully we dodge the bullet this time around.
The good news in all of this is that my wife finally admitted defeat with hand-shoveling the driveway given the quantity and weight/crustiness of the last snowfall. Yesterday, she requested that I get out the plow to run some areas of the drive. It took a few hours, but I finally got it fired up and had a fun time clearing snow. And, even though I managed to use the same set of tire chains for over a decade on it, I somehow lost one of them yesterday in my own driveway. /sigh
The S4 is catastrophic engine failure of course.
Metal and junk and shavings everywhere. They tried to clean the oil housing and oil cooler but they are beyond saving; just uncleanable. Don't want to introduce old engine metal to the new engine, so ordering an aftermarket housing to save some money on plastic as German plastic is expensive, and went OEM oil cooler as that has metal components and it was only $100 more than aftermarket.
Latest message from the shop:
Looks like we had to disassemble the supercharger as well. There’s a bunch of crap inside it along with metal shavings as well. I’m hoping we can get most of it out and cleaned out from behind the intercoolers so we don’t have to replace them.
The water jacket in the block broke causing coolant and oil to mix everywhere.
It probably is easier to replace than "fix" things.
Looks like a 2022 finish on this repair job.
May the snow driving gods be with you.
