At the beginning of the year I have been looking to purchase a used 2017 F82 LCI ZCP at around $160,000-200,000 (newest model starts around $282,000). However, in my country there are not a ton of used M4 to be looking for, and most of them are not the specs I am looking for. All the while eyeing used 2019 M2's on the side around $128,000 (newest model starts $192,000).

With the release of the G82, I became more hesitant about what to purchase. To me, I'm ok with the new design but kind of wanting to wait it out and see the LCI.

Options

1. Purchase new G82 (lets say around $282,000)
2. Buy used F87 2019 ($128,000) then sell when G82 LCI comes out
3. Be on a lookout to buy used F82 that is the desired spec.

Thank you for your opinions.
IMO if you're not "loving" the new design then don't jump on the G82! It's a ton of money for just being "ok" with it!

I'm not sure how much the LCI will improve the aesthetics (maybe just tail & front lights?) but you may want to get into an M2 first if that meets your needs, and then consider the LCI as an upgrade in the future.
