Anyone doing Carlisle this spring? P&S and/or Import & Kit Nationals?

dmhenderson

the halos themselves? They're cheap. Like $60 I think.

Glad you did not ask why the team needed them…They tested the tire barrier (ouch)
Thanks for your understanding.

I'm happy to take a back seat to actual race teams. Please let me know.

Thanks a million!

There is an 08 135i with under 40k miles for sale near me....I may single turbo that. The stock motor is good for 700hp. Only things I'll need to change I already have for the Z project. Also the 135i will actually cut my payments in half as well in terms of loanage

Will the payments be cut in half because the cost is less, or because you're financing over five years again? Keep in mind, if that's the deciding factor, you can refinance an auto loan.

dmhenderson

Don't ever refinance an auto loan unless you somehow got a bum deal up-front. You'll end up owing more in the long run 99.999% of the time.

I have done it a grand total of once and that was because I was supposed to move to Germany and my lender wouldn't let me take the car overseas so I had to switch to USAA (who would). I still took a horrendous beating and the company I worked for paid the difference.

I'm also looking at refinancing the Z. I paid off half the car in a year..

I started with a 72monrh loan...just hit 60months left. I found that if I refinance now for 60 months..technically the same amount.of payments it will cut my interest in half and save me like $3000


The 135i I could probably have for 28k out the door before tradin. About 13k after

I may still do the z. It has less miles and is newer. The nice thing is if I do go to BMW the injectors, furl pump, turbo, waste gates, bovs can all be moved over without headache

Idk i really want a turbo Z haha but stock turbo cars are sooooooo much easier.

This decision is giving me heartburn haha

That's why I love USAA so much. You pre-qualify for a loan with them and then use your blank check as a negotiating tactic. I have gotten absolutely silly loan rates using that approach.
