Yea, in that class my preferred order would be this:

1) M3
2) C63 AMG
3) IS-F

BTW, have you heard the C63? That is by far one of the best sounding stock engines I have ever heard.

Good list. I agree with the order. Sounds like the OP is looking at the IS-F because of the deal mainly.

What's the resale value of a Z in PR? Sounds like prices are crazy there. I guess because the car carriers have to go underwater to get there.

Cars get here on big cargo ships

A new 370 here(sport+ touring) its around 47K to 50k. I got mine used (with
3k miles and 5 months of usage for 39,500. I think I can still sell it for 40k, it only has 6k miles.

I saw the is-f today, its in clean condition and I drove it. I have one day to think about it (tomorrow) and decide. The thing is my Z is extra clean (nothing on the paint or wheels). This other car has 25K DD miles (some door dings and scratched wheels) but not bad overall. Its not going to be a easy decision for me.
