If you are going M2, don't go halfway.

And yeah, I fully recognize every time I “start over” it’s another hole, which is why I generally bug you for pricing advice...to mitigate that trade vs retail as much as possible.

I would like another truck the size of my old 1991 Nissan. Extended cab with the side fold jump seats. Good sized bed, and about 196" long (actually about 6" shorter than our odyssey was.) Plus the cab was not too big, nice low hood, and great visibility. Pretty narrow too, and easy to maneuver (other than backing up of course). It helps that I really don't need something with real back seat passenger room).
or maybe one of these!

I would also take an orange Supra like Han’s in Fast & Furious 9, but that’s not available.

Here's my approach when trading for a used car...take the difference between KBB trade value between my car and theirs, and add $3,000 for profit. If I get there for the difference paid then I feel pretty good. Sometimes it's lower and I feel really good, and sometimes I'm okay with it being higher if I really want the car, but I generally wouldn't do more than $5,000.
KBB may or may not be the best estimate of value, but unless it's really skewed on one car and not the other, it gives me a relative difference in values. And it's easy to look up so I don't have to bother @qbrozen with every car thought that I have.
So...using that approach with today's KBB values:
- The deal on the 2018 M2 manual reflects a $7,100 profit . They've marked their car up around $5k, which kinda makes sense for what it is and that they just got it in, but it seems they're being a bit conservative on the trade as well.
- The deal on the 2019 M2 Comp (DCT) reflects a profit of $4,732. It felt like a better deal, but it's nice to put numbers to it.
Where does that leave me? Well, even if I just love the 2018 M2 when I look at it this week, I can't do that deal. On the off chance it sits for a few weeks and they reduce the price, or up the trade on my car, I'd consider it again.The Comp is a bit tempting, and the wrestle there is DCT vs Manual. Plus, the 22k miles gives me a little pause...it's a bit over 2 years old, so it's actually lower than average miles, but considering the type of car it is, most others are sub-20k. That salesperson already checked in with me this morning and offered to throw in new tires (it has snow tires on it, albeit brand new ones). They know I'm looking at the 2018 this week and it'd be interesting to see how aggressive they could get.

I also think that specialty performance cars like this are ultra sensitive to higher than normal miles. Which is especially important if you plan to actually drive it, and doubly so if not keeping it long!
It also sounds like you haven’t come to terms with the manual trans issue yet. I would first decide if that was a real desire, or just a handy justification to look! Plus you can always add something cheaper with a stick if you just want a little toy for a while. Flip the leaf for something!

Edit: I goofed. They have a Titan, not a Tundra. I don’t actually like the looks of the new Tundra.

You won't like the mileage the Tundra gets(or doesn't get).

Now, I'm pretty much 4 bangers.

Some time ago, I noticed this car kind of hidden on a specialty classified site, asking price around 30K. Too much to blow on another toy, but I was smitten with it. Forgot about it, then went looking for it again, and I see it hit BaT and sold, at what I think was a more than reasonable price for a car of this substance. Well-bought, with only some slight cosmetic flaws. This color isn't my first choice, but it really works here. The grey market days must have been fun.
Now, to be fair, that analysis got me OUT of the 2018 M2 I was close to buying this week.

I agree the XC90 is amazing for 4 cylinder. For this engine to perform best need super unleaded fuel.
