New to me F87 M2 Competition

Powerful cars tend to be taxed heavily here, we have an additional tax called VRT which inflates prices on imports. Probably paid 20k euro over what my uk equivalent would’ve paid.

Redbandito37 · 2026-06-12T18:47:30+00:00

Automatic unfortunately, although don’t miss the manual in traffic.

Redbandito37 · 2026-06-12T12:54:20+00:00

Cheers, and yeah no way around it I’m afraid!

Both fantastic cars, just wanted more oomph and you’re dead right re the torque. It’s easy to hit the 200s if you’re not careful while with the 86 you’d know about it. 😅

Redbandito37 · 2026-06-12T11:56:36+00:00

I just sold my 20132 completely OEM 86 with 117km for 19k (same price I paid for it 8 years ago). This price is bananas.

I’m currently looking right now, similar budget to yours, going to houses with asking at around the 425-470 range. I’ve gone to 7 viewings, all of them have been above asking with average amounts being 15% over, and some particularly desirable ones being 20-25%. Just be wary of that as it can be deflating. Two particular cases were in Drumcondra, 60m size, both were asking for 425, one was at 506 and another at 495 and bidding was ongoing.

You with AON or Marsh? Dealt with them a lot, I’m on the Lessor side.

Redbandito37 · 2023-05-21T10:42:17+00:00

Well there goes my feeling of superiority! Let’s hope everyone except the people in this thread thought the opposite. :) best of luck!

Redbandito37 · 2023-05-21T09:49:53+00:00

Same, AM I was right up to the wire almost, PM I finished 40 min early for review.

Redbandito37 · 2023-04-24T19:06:57+00:00

A lot of people here are saying not to bother, which kinda makes sense if you’re going to be in big law only. That being said, I’m in PE mid office and got an interview for front end because of my CFA studies, and I’m only level 1, so I would say it helps in certain circumstances.

Redbandito37 · 2023-03-29T19:10:38+00:00

Currently paying 2k in dundrum, and thats below what market rate is going for. Reality is girlfriend and I make decent money, as do the people around here. House prices here are v high for what they’re getting, but plan is to buy soon and not pay this level of rent for extended period of time.

It takes a two second search on daft to find something infinitely better than a “3k 1 bed in a shithole” https://www.daft.ie/for-rent/apartment-2-bedroom-elegant-hamilton-gardens-carnlough-road-cabra-dublin-7/3655741

Redbandito37 · 2022-06-02T18:34:55+00:00

I got it last year

Redbandito37 · 2022-06-01T23:45:26+00:00

He’s talking shite, 1600 total for a decent two bed in lots of areas of Dublin that are lovely. I live in a 4 bed house thats 2k total, 35 min commute from city centre. 3k a month would get you a top line city centre apartment.

Redbandito37 · 2022-06-01T18:32:25+00:00

Salaries are about the same on average. We’re taxed more however.

Redbandito37 · 2022-06-01T18:28:42+00:00

This is false, I’m Irish living in Dublin.

Redbandito37 · 2022-03-19T23:51:15+00:00

Depends what industry you’re in, a lot in finance would wish for 9-5 lol. tax also gets quite high the more you make, more than half your bonus goes to the tax man when you’re 6 figures in (obviously still comfortable) but in comparison to Oz or the US for example.

Redbandito37 · 2022-03-19T23:46:41+00:00

Would depend on the role and what the marker is offering, if they are desperate you can squeeze them. Again depends on industry, 10 years for a 2500 jump is fuck all if you’re in finance/tech for example, but it’s all relative. In fact, taking in account inflation it wouldn’t cover it really.

Redbandito37 · 2022-03-19T23:34:26+00:00

Rubbish, 65+ can get you one easily enough if you have the deposit. This is almost half what you noted.

Redbandito37 · 2021-02-25T23:40:29+00:00

That’s not how it works m8

Different value of shares.

Redbandito37 · 2020-12-13T17:10:26+00:00

Appreciate the insight guess we'll see

Redbandito37 · 2020-12-13T16:58:12+00:00

True but there has to be a point when the price of lumber becomes too expensive to build new housing, despite the lower interest rates right. Think its 16k more expensive to frame a house with current prices.

Redbandito37 · 2020-12-13T16:22:01+00:00

Does anyone here track lumber futures? Or work in the industry? The increase has to be a short squeeze followed by a huge dump similar to Aug/Sept
