Im considering getting rid of my M3 and looking to buy a Nova?
Just before you all jump, ive been thinking, i could sell my M3 and find a fairly Good Nova Gsi, and have money left over which would clear me from any money worries etc!
i dont really drive much any more, so i wouldnt miss the M3 as much as i would if i was still doing 40-50k a year, im probably doing about 2-3 k a year now. also ive always loved the cars adn would enjoy a little project XE/LET
Opinions please Am i going mad?

Makes sense tbh, Anything's better than worrying about money, and you will still have a cracking car

if you got a nova, and looked after it. id doubt you would lose a great deal of money on it.

it will defo get looked after, and gain bugger all miles, tbh the nova would suit me more than the M3 at the moment too, £90 insurance a month i wouldnt miss either

If I was only doing 2-3k I'd definetly have a fun little car as you don't really need reliability

bet a nova would be far far cheaper on fuel. also cheaper to fix. possible more thrill to drive. possibly.

If he is thinking of selling the M3 to seize money troubles I doubt he has the money for 2 cars

if i could afford to have both i would but as i said in the 1st post the main reason of the vehicle change would be purely becuase it would clear a debt and alot of weight on my shoulders
