I really hope he was not born in this country, if he's only been here 3-4 years that's a pretty good level of english.
LOL I didn't want to be the mean one and brought that up. Hopefully this doesn't cause a language barrier between himself and his clients.

I hope the OP the best in his business and life, but he needs to take the L and just stop posting from this thread.

I don't know, I know some successful realtors driving Z06's, Vipers, and Ford GT's. Those are all domestic cars.

And talk about average joe's car...you drive a 3 series! As common as a Honda Civic.

So to the OP, are you gonna go out and blow 100k or what?! I want to see what your going to go buy. Like a stated earlier, You should look at a 9997 Carrera 4S. My father just ordered one and its just in the price range your looking for. Plus, its a new car, comes with a warentee (sp), and is a lot more practical than a ferrari.
i will look n research into it.. thank you

Then maybe you should stop standing on your head and learn to be a more articulate "rider." In all of those years of college you apparently attended did you ever take any classes that required you to use the English language in an effective way? Even if you didn't have one class that required you to read or write in English wouldn't you still know that your school was called University of Southern California? I can't help but think you must be some kid posting bogus questions. Even without the poor grammar and spelling this is a pretty strange topic.

This 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena is about 100K
if you're mad about reliability issues on a BMW, the ferrari will probably be a nightmare for you.

hey, i didn't scrutinize every post, but ran some quick numbers when you mentioned what the payments were going to be.
@ 1,200/mo., you're looking at paying 14,400/yr.
@ 14,400/yr., you're looking at a (approx.) 7 yr. term w/o interest.
w/ interest, you'll be making payments for the next ten years.

i didn't calculate sales tax or down payment, cause...well, i guess the numbers already confirm this is about as stupid as anything i've read on this forum...may be any forum.

fyi - if i were considering your options and money wasn't an issue, this is the last place i'd be looking for advice.
whatever, regardless of what you end up buying to distance yourself from the woes of owning an e90, let's see some pics of the new ride once you get it home.

I've just glanced through some of LACA335i's previous posts, especially the ones he made in Matt's truck thread, and I'm asking this question with sincerity, but LACA335i, I assume you've been living in the US for at least 25 years (judging by what you said about your parents living in Alhambra for 25 years), how is it possible that you write the way you do? All your posts read like a newcomer that's been living in the US for < 1 year. I find it hard to believe , please enlighten me.

Fake internet rich guy all the way, someone with a BA and an MBA from USC would not have such a poor grasp of the english language (lol its was hard enough for me )

Luv the job titles "privately stock investor " and a "Realty Estate Business"

He wants trade in advice from strangers on a bmw board regarding a ferrari 360?? LOL when I pick up my M3 I dont think i'll be asking anyone about lic or doc fees, i'll just go ahead and do it myself

355 spyder insurance? 1 million smackers??


Yup canucklion He said his parents lived for the past 25 years in Alhambra I have friends and relatives who still live in china and japan that can speak and write english better than this guy.
There were two guys just like this on a Z board recently a faux AMG'er and Lambo owner who got banished for their so so easy to spot BS. One thing is different from this one tho, he sure didnt do his homework 1st.

Forgive me if I seem hostile,just bored at the moment, Im not really a bitch all the time

dude what is ur problem with me.. i said his sister told me that he insurance his car for 1 million dollars? is it very hard to understand. Rgarding to your friend from china and japan, they can speak or read english more power to them.. Im pretty sure alot of people from China and Jap or korean want to study english cause they want to come here to make money.. What wrong with staying with your old folks. My folks about 60 + . they dont have much time to live... Beside asian family do stick together...

Congrad upon getting your M3. Yes M3 is about 15 to 20 K more than 335i or any of the 3 series and some 5 series car. Wat wrong being a conversative person? Im very conversative when come to getting any big ticket item. Oh by the way, did you purchase your M3 or lease it? second who make the purchase? If you have rich family, i guess they can get you m3 .. Im sorry my folks did not raised me with tons of money to spend. 3rd how old are you ?

Having MBA does not mean your english grammar is have to be good.. All you need to do hire someone to correct your grammar or having someone really good with english or english major.. Do you think President of United States can give a speech to the public without a ghost write involve? come on.. anyways this is getting out of hand..

I got the figure 1200 per month from this saleman from the dealership over the phone.. The figure that i wrote was just a ball park number.. As you know, those guys always give fake number over the phone. they lies and cheat to get you to come over. Dude you guys are so harsh.. all i want to do is to compare the pro and con before i make any decision.

You probably right about that one.. that is why i just want to compare pro and con. IT would be nice to drive around to show your client around with style. But it is a nighmare to get part and try to fix that car by yourself

I have no issue with it, I'm just surprised that you've had 25+ years of English-speaking/writing experience. You don't need to be an English major to speak/write properly, it's part of daily living. Like I said, I was just curious, if you took my inquiry as an attack, it wasn't meant to be one.

Read her post, she lost her parents when she was younger.

I don't know about you, but I for one would be terribly embarrassed if someone who has lived in Canada for far less time than I spoke perfect English while I don't, I would take that as a sign to improve my reading/writing skills. I'm sure you'll get tonnes more business when you can converse with your business acquaintances in fluent English.

This will be my last comment on your English, live you life as you see fit, if you can afford the 360, go for it.

btw, you've just contradicted your prior statement, you said earlier that 'remember Chinese people have money", but now you're saying now that "my folks did not raised me with tons of money to spend".

Thumbs down Damn, where did race come from? Probably no one even realized you were chinese dude

I can always use it as a tax ride off cause i m stock investor and realty estate... anyways it is not my point. i just want weight the pro n con on the 360.. i did rent ferrari F355 in the past for my brother wedding. it was only 500 dollars per day. plus 1M insurance. lol Also for your information, chinese people have money .. remember that.!!! Right now. im paying 750 / month dollars and total 51K with interest to purchase.. 750 to 1200 is not far to reach .. price range...
I mean, we are talking about if it makes sense or not. Don't take it a slight on you or chinese people because I am sure no one even thought about what race you were to respond to your post, and probably no one even realized you were chinese. Its all in your head. A figment of your imagination maybe? Also, the guy who said you are lying and you don't have the money probably does not know you, and he himself has no money so he assumes you don't have it either. This crap is common behavior, people projecting their ideas or situations on others. Relax dude, and get the Ferari if thats what floats your boat. Don't have to ask on here for people's approaval, in the end the only person who matters is you, and you will have to deal with the implications of your decision alone. So do what pleases you, and be happy.
