[Dream Master]

OK, so I'm jaded too, since I sell SPF. BDR is a great car and a deal for the money, especially if you do not want the standard equipment that comes with our SPF car. Great guys to deal with also. For those who step up to our car, they are never disappointed, but it is a step up in many ways. The old "you can spend more, you just can't get more" does not apply to this comparison. It is nice to have owners within your neighborhood that you can interact with and dealers close at hand should there be a problem, but this all comes at a cost. Warranty? I really don't think you will find any real problems to deal with with BDR other than the minor leaks, etc. Resale? do your own research and see what you find. I believe You are spending $10K less for a BDR with $6000 less standard equipment.

You are doing the right thing by asking questions, and researching. Take time to decide just what you relly want and can afford. You can not go wrong with a BDR. or a SPF. There is a reason Toyota builds Lexus, and Nissan builds Infinity. Some customer want more and are willing to pay for the extras they get.

Keep in mind that even the guy with a rough lower-end Cobra is having plenty of fun, and enjoying his car. It's all relative.

You asked for feedback, I usually don't respond, as I am bias, but felt vindicated since Cashburn (dealer) responded earlier.
