What premium do you think my S4 would bring from living its whole life in the desert? It rains less
than 6 inches a year here, and obviously we have no road salt/sand issue from snow removal. It seems to me that four years of the harsh conditions up north would have to = some corrosion or other damage and a buyer would be glad to have a desert-living car that has lived its whole life in covered parking so no sun/heat issues.

i'd pay extra for that, especially an older car. but our cars aren't older, so i prolly wouldn't
care too much. took me 6 months just to find my car, so i took what i could get. plus it's low miles to begin with.
i'm shopping for an 84 GTi and a early 70's pickup. both of which i'll look down south for. (south or south west or cali).
VT eats cars.

The one thing people worry about from an AZ car is paint and interior decay.
If you interior is good, then I thing your argument might help you with the person that is looking for the cherry S4...IMO.
How many miles?

I have always parked in a garage both at home and at work. My last car was red and was as snappy as
the day I bought it after fours years of ownership. Info is in sig. 38k miles. Times out of warranty in September.

and the fact that the M3 is one of the most overrated cars ever produced. The
"fanboi" crowd for it is even worse than the Skyline *******. At least Skylines have potential.

Fanbois suck. Its not a bad car, but it isn't all that stellar either.
Add to that the fact that you can't reasonably ever get it to perform beyond "ok", I don't get it. The interior sucks, it rides like a truck, its heavy(for a rwd bmw), its slow, and looks like a german anime remix.
This is all related to the e46 btw, I dig the e36.
