Coupe or Sedan??

I need some help please.

Should I get a sedan or coupe?

$1500 for the driveoff, payments of $937 including tax for 36 months, 12k miles/year with 54% residual value. Is this a good deal or can get a better one?

MSRP of $67,085


Thanks.

I guess that this is a MY2009, because if it is a MY2008 there are around $200 a month unaccounted for...

Yeah, I guess we should figure out if this is a 09 or 08? Which is it?

I don't think that anyone can make the coupe vs sedan decision for you...

Family man? Child seats? You should probably lean toward the sedan.

Otherwise, it's a particularly personal decision.

Personally, I prefer the look of the coupe over the sedan. That's what made my decision.

The coupe is gorgeous, like it better than my sedan but 4 doors would not be bad for your situation

Agree, but with kids, I'd live with the sedan. Would make life a lot easier.

Sedan. I had the same decision to make with 2 children 6 and 4 so had to have two car seats in the car.I had a e46 coupe and sold it for the M3 sedan because getting the kids in and out of the back was a pain in the arse. Got plates to go with the car M34DKDZ
