Who else gets, how can you afford that car?

Post by JamesRowe »

I get it all the time, OK I'm 23 but still, no one has a clue how much cars are worth. Ive only got a 2000 3.0 Z3. Worth what, 4k? If IM lucky.

However I am always getting it, how can you afford that?!?! :head:

It’s the BMW Effect. People seem blind to the number plate illustrating an old car and just see a shiny, relatively uncommon BMW sports car. That’s why some forum members tease you about the modifications you have made and prefer to keep their own relatively unmolested and original. Understated quality.

I used to get the same until I pointed out that all my cars didn't even add up to a new Ford Mondeo :D .

You do get a lot of bang for your buck on a Z3. It's a great buy.

I was called a Poseur, by a chum when he saw Zelda for the first time yesterday, but when he looked her over more closely he said, "That's NICE". He has an MG F!
