My Ride: 06 530i. Premium, Sport, powere shades, Sat. radio and hopefully the occasional groupy in the seat.
Default

Well, I have asked a couple questions around the board already but it wasn't until a couple hours ago that I put my down payment on a new 530i...so now that it's official...I sold my 2002 Audi A4 1.8T today. It was heavily modified, essentially all cosmetic. I went in the other day to go pick up a 325 and ended up with the following:

2006 Monaco Blue on beige 530i with premium, sport, sat. radio, comfort access and power shades or something lilke that.

It is unloading off of a boat tomorrow so it's just a matter of time now. Still sucks having no car though. Anyway, I'm probably one of the younger ones here at a ripe 23 years old, but I assure you I pay for my own car

Hopefully I'll learn the car quickly like i did my Audi. I have about 27,000 posts on audiworld, but I look to cut that back here a little! I think I got a pretty decent deal as well so feel free to comment on the numbers I'm throwing at you...Yes i know not many agree with a lease, but I get a new car every few years and I'm still young and dumb!

36 month/10k miles 3999 down and 625 per month.

Where are you from?

I think 625 for a 530 is a good deal.

thanks thanks, It's a nice change stepping into the mature realm of BMW. Granted there were a lot of adults on the A4 forum, it's just a different pace than it is here. I already like it here!! My friend just signed up as well under the name hood rich. We like to keep it real! haha

well I used to have a job that didn't monitor my internet access so i just sat at work all day and posted, some of it was valuable information, most of it was pure BS We'll see what kind of damage I can do here too!

Welcome ghetto fabulous!
Yeah, waiting is the hard part. Be patient (Yeah, just like what my E60 buddies keep telling me! ), it'll be here real soon. If I'm lucky, mine will show up some time next week (after waiting for over 1.5 months!).

Be sure to post pix when you get the new toy!
Cheers,
-Tony

Welcome to the forum...I know you will find it as informative and entertaining as I have. I'm sure first on your agenda will be dark tint windows...as all cars are in AZ. (I'm a UofA graduate and spent some time in Tucson!)
