Guys,
I am at a cross roads and frankly its getting down right annoying. Annoying enough that I am starting to question my decision to buy the M5 to begin with. I KNOW that I am over thinking the decision and I know that I need to snap out of it, but I cant.
Like most people I have a couple of favorite colors. Like most people, I woudl also like to get the best, most relaible and well taken care of car for the money. My problem is (and I am sure anyone who has bought the M5 in the last couple of years)that as soon as I find a car that is well taken care of with documented service history, its not in m y favorite color (interior or exterior). When by chance I do find my favorite color, the car doesn't seem like it was owned and maintained with the same passion as others. The back and forth is driving me and my wife absolutely crazy (well in her case, I am the one driving her crazy)
As impractical and absurd as it sounds (since you cant get in my brain to think like me or help me) I am asking you folks, which compromise is easier to live with. Compromising on the color combination or buy the right combo and then putting up with a not so perfect car (and paying more over time for extra repairs).
I have a local car, an absolute cherry, yet its in my 2nd lest favorite color and I am worried that I will regret now buying it.
On the other hand I have found a couple of cars 1000-1400 miles away, my fav color combo, but they are at best kept and maintained in an average manner.
What do you say?
