I agree with the guys saying buy neither right now. You're going into real estate, so you know the huge financial benefit that you could gain be saving that money to buy property instead, if you play your cards right. I say hold on to the miata & rock your dads truck until you buy a house/condo/whatever or successfully sell a few. Then buy a car that will be sporty & also match the image you'll need to convey as a successful salesman. And nothing says both sporty & successful like BMW. I vote used 335i coupe.
