335 Vert by christmas?? Help me think of a different car I can get

05-08-2007, 09:45 AM

How about an Audi S4 cab? That is all I can think of that would deliver the thrills for close to the same money. Or maybe a used M3 cab?

I don't want to wait forever for a 335 convertible.

Christmas

... why don you just buy a car while waiting for the 335i vert .... a golf 5 gti ... and when you sell it you should get your money back (well here the scenario is like that on the gti)

Why would you have to wait until Christmas?

C6 convertible

An A4 is a mediocre substitution for a 335. I'd take a 328 over an A4 every day of the week 24/7.

I don't know about c60 pricing in the US but a friend works for the local Volvo dealer and she brought one by. It looked nice but the for $63 K you would be nuts to pay that for a 5 banger and the interior is pretty cheap looking. That is the same price we pay in Canada for a fully loaded 335 coupe. Just like the recent C&D test review I understand why the 328 vert scored so much higher.

C6 convert or E93 328i

I think if you are willing to travel a bit and compromise on options, you can find one on a lot. There seems to be more 335 converts than coupes around, at least here in so-cal.

there's no chance in hell that it would take 7 months to deliver a standard 3 series vert.

it's not rare, or produced in small numbers.

put in your order and you'll have your car in less than 3 months
