High End Luxury Cars

You are in the Sedans Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens

What is this discussion about? Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Jaguar XJ-Series, Lexus LS 460, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Volkswagen Phaeton, Maserati Quattroporte, Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, Sedan

Let's try to define this forum as being limited to luxury performance vehicles where the mainstream version in a typical configuration has an MSRP of at least $60k.

A luxury vehicle with a base price of $59k qualifies because it would typically be bought with some additional equipment, bringing the MSRP over $60k.

Vehicles like the E, 5, A6, M, or GS, even if available in certain versions over $60k, don't qualify because they are cars from companies that have higher end cars in their lineups.

Replying to: pat (Oct 20, 2006 12:08 pm) Actually, Pat (begin dating myself...now!) I believe that that year was the genesis of "Divisions" in MLB. The Amazin's beat the Braves in the NL playoffs and then went on to allow Tom Terrific Seaver to become the first pitcher in NY Mets history to lose a World Series game! An honor he retained until '73 and the stinkin' Oakland A's... And I'm sure most of those players drove HELM back in the day, too! Except maybe Bobby Pfeil... And then I (age-wise only) grew up, graduated college, fell in love on the ski slopes, married the ski-bunny, moved to Boston and was swept up by the formerly forever a bridesmaid Boston Red Sox. Thirteen years later, the Sox pulled an Amazin'! Of course back in '86 I still bled blue and orange... And someday I hope to drive a HELM, as I'm sure Dr. Gary Gentry does! End of stream of consciousness...?

Pat, some of us enjoyed this little lesson in finance. Another amazin show from my new best friend Brightness. He seems to know a LOT more about autos, depreciation, and finances than just about anyone else here. At least Hpowders understands numbers. Even I would be a little bit tempted to lease a S320 for $400. a month. The Mets put up a valiant struggle but they never really had much of a chance aganist the greatest team in baseball. It's all that tradition.

Replying to: houdini1 (Oct 20, 2006 12:38 pm) Wow thanks Houdini1, I guess that makes me a financial dunce. Maybe I shouldn't have pursued a career in finance? Or maybe I shouldn't have earned an accounting and CFA designation? Oh well at least my clients are happy and much richer.

Replying to: dewey (Oct 20, 2006 1:00 pm) And at least you have that great new 335i sedan to show for it! Replies to this message: dewey (Oct 20, 2006 1:04 pm) hpowders (Oct 20, 2006 1:07 pm) dewey (Oct 20, 2006 2:37 pm)

Replying to: dewey (Oct 20, 2006 1:04 pm) I knew about that, but the 335i demonstates proof of your latest success! No slight intended. Nobody could possibly be happy with only one BMW vehicle! How is one to live? Replies to this message: dewey (Oct 20, 2006 2:37 pm)

Replying to: pat (Oct 20, 2006 11:44 am) Um, then what are you doing? Good point! I am still trying to justify all the time I spent here. At least nobody else knows but me(at least in the real world and not in this virtual forum world of ours) Daggoned Mets!! This was their year and they blew it!! (I'm sure many of them drive HELMs...) Especially the ones with inflated residuals

Replying to: hpowders (Oct 20, 2006 1:07 pm) No slight intended. Nobody could possibly be happy with only one BMW vehicle! That's OK. It's as easy to forgive a fellow Bangle fan as it is to forgive a Mets fan today.
