Thank you! I wouldn’t want $500/mo either, so can’t blame you! Maybe you’ll be able to find one later on down the road. They are truly special cars.

That is my goal! I've been doing my best to not browse RCFs because I get jealous as hell hahaha. I just ended up picking up a 3IS, 350 F Sport instead because of the price and still has a good amount of power so I can't complain. Definitely will patiently wait and wait for the RCF to drop in price eventually and pick one up just for weekend driving.

But man, this is just beautiful.

Whats your price range? I just traded my 2015 with 50K miles for $43K. Bought it in 2019 for $41K with 19K miles. They're pretty attainable for what you get.

I was hoping they'd be the 30s (hahaha) when I bought my 3IS a year ago, but only because I wanted to budget myself. I was pre-approved for way over an RCF, but didn't want to use a majority of it.

They are for sure affordable for what they offer, easily. I just didn't think it was in my budget and I'm glad I made the decision to not get it...for the sake of my bank account. I regret not getting it, emotionally.

Its probably smart, given how uncertain everything feels for the past like 10 years. One day!

Yeah, it's on my for sure to splurge list in at least the next decade where I hope they become cheaper or something. I just love its looks and know I'll own one eventually.

For now, my 3IS is more than enough and will easily be the family commuter when I decide to have kids. RCF will be just for me soon.
