I did look in briefly at the Jeep, but I wasn't really looking for anything special/unique. I was trying to find a winter quality vehicle, and that meant something had to go, and unfortunately, that was the BMW. I loved the M3, but truth be known, the GT is a LOT easier car to drive. I had an '02 M5 before the M3, and the performance difference was nominal, at least in my opinion. The M5 was heavier and felt like it. It probably had a little better acceleration above, say 80 mph, but the M3 handled better, drank a ton less fuel, and in my opinion was a much better balanced car. The problem is, once I finally got the GT, everything else got put on the truck. The BMW's clutch was heavier than the Ford. It is a more finicky car as far as drivability and drivetrain. So when the time came, and garage space went to a premium, the M3 had to (reluctantly) go. But the real issue for me in this whole process, is how absolutely nuts the various dealers are on used car valuations (even their own brand). I know these cars drop like a rock out of a window once they are titled, but the disparity between what the dealers offer on their own product in trade value, and then the bullsh!t lines they spout when one sees the car for sale on their lot is beyond belief. I have no problem with the dealer needing a 15-20% spread on a used car to give them some wiggle room when reselling the trade, but most of these dealers are looking at close to a 50% markdown on the trade/wholesale bid, vs what they put the car on the lot at. I heard more wacky excuses in the last two weeks than you can imagine. I know the car biz is in disarray because of the current climate, but you had to hear some of this crap to believe it. That's why I was so surprised at the # of Cayennes on the lots at a few of the dealers. In questioning trade values vs purchase prices, it was funny to catch them in their garbage of trade in and wholesale value, especially when there where numerous models at other dealers stuck with too much inventory. I guess what I would have preferred is the various dealers just coming out and saying "I've got too much inventory, I don't want your trade, you're better off selling it on your own, and here's my best price on the model you might want." I suppose that's too much to ask for, but with biz the way it is, it may actually happen.
