Swapping an M135i for a 997 Turbo. Am I mad?

The only replacement for an M135i is a remapped Golf R. They can reach 60mph before you've even started and have soft touch plastics you'll find it impossible to resist rubbing your scrotum on.
Everybody knows the golf r is the fastest car out there go on "what car did I embarrass in my golf r" thread on the r forum and you'll find these little beasts are fast! In fact faster than a 997 turbo![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

I'm not anti-leasing, but 11k for two years to do 8k miles per year?!
Can't help thinking you could have spent 11k on a 130i which still would have been worth 9 now!
Not to be a bore but i was thinking along the same lines. I just fail to see how 11k in 2 years is good value to rent a 1 series. Can't help thinking you could have spent 11k on a 130i which still would have been worth 9 now!
But 11k to run a 997 turbo / R8 / GTR etc etc is much easier to get my head round...

Do you honestly think a car bought from porsche for £55k will be worth £50k as a private sale / trade in in 2 years? Really?
Values seem to be on the up so it's possibleBought a car from a main dealer for £36k in 2013, now worth £50k. Granted got lucky !
Aren't main dealer prices a couple k more than private, atleast?
Would have to do some appreciating to not lose more than £5k.
You'd own a 997 turbo though

11k to rent a 1 series beemer for 2 years, wow.
Does not compute.
ZZZZZ and what car would you have got and ran for 2 years for £11k with 300bhp and someone else's money when it may well stipulate it has to be under 3 years old? Does not compute.
I also suspect that someone spent significantly more than 11k to rent that Audi A4 you own for a period.

Why, do cars spontaneously explode after they exit their warranty period?Nickbrapp said:

E92 335i, E39 M5, Z4 3.0, Porsche 996, 130i, Audi S5 (almost) etc etc - the list is endless and most of those cars will only lose a couple of grand tops in depreciation.Or get a £35k AM V8V - they seem to have hit the absolute bottom of their dep. curve. No way it would cost more than 11k in 2 years, even including warranty cost.
There seems to be 2 camps, those who don't mind dropping 5 figures to rent a new shiny thing, and then those who think "bloody hell i could of bought [insert car of choice] outright for that, and then sold it in a couple of years and recovered the majority of the cash"
I always take a look at a supposedly good lease deal, calculate the total cost over the term and then think "nah"....

How much do you reckon its cost for two years of motoring in your Audi?
ALOT less than 11k!Tyres: £700
Servicing: £600
MOT: £40
Repairs: (glove box door, brake light, seat: £200
Fuel: 12k miles at 25mpg: £2115
Total 2 year running cost inc. depreciation (estimate); £3650 + 1k p/y depreciation = £5500
Modifications: £1800 (optional spend, wheels redone, some paint, trim bits etc...)
Sell it tomorrow for £20k and i'll have had 2 years relatively cheap motoring, assuming it doesn't disintegrate tonight.
