For sure it's not gonna depreciate another 40k! maybe 10-20K and you drive the car that you love and spent 15K to make it what you wanted to right? IMHO you should keep the car for another 2 years if still love it

Thank you for the advice, so I just need to sell it right before warranty ends. But since I have some mods on my car, sell it privately might be better and who ever buys the car can buy a extended warranty if I got you right?

I just won't by another new car, if I'm lucky enough to get a even trade for another one let's say CLS63 or E63, I'm sure my cars condition is way better, cuz I babe it since the day I bought it, and those are totally stock. Sounds like I'm persuading myself, maybe I'm just too sad to see the trade in price.

The raptor though they want $63k for on a $58k msrp. So they want me to do a $4k purchase, I said I was looking for an even trade and call me if they change their mind. Problem is, the car has depreciated ridiculously, I will not buy another one new. I got $9k off msrp on mine but at this price, it's $43k less than what I paid 19 months ago. That's pretty much 40%. The Ford guys loved the car but they can't afford it even as it sits and they love their raptor more.

My wife doesn't want me to sell it because she likes it but not better than her Cayenne Turbo S. We are just using it to keep the miles down on the Porsches.

I actually own both. The Raptor is cool but its no BMW thats for sure! Gas mileage is shockingly better than the M5 by 2mpg! Lol. But its not the same experience at all. I got mine 6 months ago and then there were not many left and i paid 2k over invoice. The touchscreen stuff is horrible to use. Slower than Range Rover's sluggish system even. And there is not many convenience features (or places to put stuff) in the interior like my Tundra had. But it looks mean thats for sure! She is just sitting in the drive. I'm driving my F15 X5 35d this winter instead.

Hey, thanks for the review. I know it's not nearly as nice as the m5 but it may be more practical for my needs and I have the 991tts for the speed effect. We have the Cayenne TTS for the luxury ride so the bases would be covered. How is the voice activated stuff? The sales guy was trying to show me how it worked but the nav chip was bad. It did respond to some other voice commands.

I'm thinking of a F80 M3/Ford Raptor combo in a year or so. I think that would be the best New England combo
