I’m not sure what your salary is, or what you can really afford. This may sound super obvious but a lot of the cars we’re suggesting have high maintenance costs. I know you spent a lot on the 330 but prices for parts only goes up from there.

For example a full brake overhaul on a focus ST is ~$300. I just ordered new brakes for my RS (Rotors, pads, lines) and it was just over $1000 on sale. And these were still 1 piece cast replacement rotors, not the fancy 2 piece ones. And the cheaper stoptech pads, not even EBC or hawk.

So keep in mind when looking at used performance cars, especially if you will be tracking more. All the consumables can *really* add up. I know you’re aware of the ///M tax, but saying for rwd you might want porsche? That $35k porsche still has $100k maintenance costs
