Lease end- Buy, Buy and Sell, or Walk Away
3 months left on my lease, and I'm struggling with what to do. For background, I have a 2012 650i, Space Grey/Vermillion, 6MT, not quite 19K miles at the moment.
I need to have enough room in the back seat for 2 car seats (3 and 1.5 at the moment). I very, extremely, really really prefer a stick. Thoroughly dislike automatics. Seriously. Obviously, nice car with performance is good... I can buy mine out, maybe put it up for sale permanently, too, or find a new car. Buy out pros: Sweet car, 1 owner, low miles. Manual transmission, power and luxury. Buyout cons: Payments go up by almost 50%, it's 3 years old, and, I swear, getting loose and rattley feeling, I've driven this car already... New car pros: It's new. Probably 4 doors. Tesla is attractive, Panamera is a definite maybe. New car cons: Really hard to find a stick in anything. Maybe a WRX? I blame BMW directly, and all you guys buying automatics indirectly, for my quandary! Thoughts? I need help leaning harder in one direction or another. |

OP, M6 manual is really rare, but you can find 2013-2014 M5 manual and will be more than happy since it's a big jump from 400HP to 600HP, 450 tq to 500 tq

What's the buyout? Auction prices are roughly $38k-45k depending on the area, so I'd figure $48k-$60k private party. I'd consider buy and sell if the numbers look right and then find a manual M.
