Sedans High End Luxury Cars
24699 messages, Last post on Nov 30, 2009 at 6:41 PM
You are in the Sedans Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
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: thegraduate (Nov 16, 2006 10:12 am) One of our regular posters here has one, in addition to his high-end stable. I plan to test drive the EX V6 sometime soon. PS: 1.You can get a low-mileage 2003 325i for less than $25k. 2. I have read your informative posts over on the various Accord threads for quite a while. Good to see you here!

Replying to: tagman (Nov 16, 2006 10:46 am) I am seriously thinking of going back to the 3-Series. The 545 just doesn't have the same thrill in the corners. Dewey seems to be very happy with his. I still have many months to think about it. I would do the 335i coupe, not the sedan. I love the look of the coupe....unless BMW comes out with some diesel models in 2008. One thing about BMW's, I never have issues with the seat, steering wheel, foot well or console. Always perfect. A real pleasure. At this point in time, half-way through my lease, I can decisively say, for my next vehicle...I am completely indecisive. Hope your PT is helping you feel better! |

TMC recall of 54,000 vehicles for spontaneous combustion. I guess that "reliability" argument has now gone up in flames . . . literally.  I'd rather have a Mercedes and risk some mechanical trouble than risk being grilled well-done in one of these babies. Source: link title TagMan

Tagman and Howard, Among almost every manufacturer of HELCs small is not beautiful. Less is not more. A small Jag (X), a small Lexus (IS), a small Cadillac (CTS), and a small Benz (C Class) just does not cut it IMO. While a large BMW in the form of a 7 series does not seem to be as representative of its marque as the S Class is to the Benz marque. I love my 335i far more than the 530xi touring that my wife now drives on a full-time basis. In the case of Bimmers small is beautiful. Less is more. |

Replying to: merc1 (Nov 15, 2006 9:25 pm) LOL....maybe I'll make a pizza out of it with the Ketchup. Well at least our E Class vs. 5 Series sales bet was a gentlemen's bet. Put a lot of Pepperoni on it and it shouldn't taste that bad. |
