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.

I guess Detroit during a cold January would most likely be the spot to go to. Warm compared to Toronto? TagMan

Replying to: dewey (Mar 29, 2007 7:17 pm) But this host will have to be armed with a spear in case things get rowdy while discussing inflated residuals Brightness will behave just fine. After all, if we ever need to find him, all we need to do is look for the guy with the Bobcat fixing up that property, with the Saab in the driveway.

Replying to: hpowders (Mar 29, 2007 7:36 pm) Yes... I'm afraid so. No more "Doc vs. Merc", either. At times, that was better than HBO boxing. Oh well... So, Hpowders, what do you think of that 40th anniversary edition? It really is sweet, isn't it? (Except for the wheels, maybe). TagMan Replies to this message: hpowders (Mar 30, 2007 3:51 am)

Replying to: tagman (Mar 29, 2007 7:44 pm) I hope Merc comes back soon. 4.4 seconds sounds about right. A serious engine. Those wheels look to me like something I would expect on an Infiniti M45.

Replying to: tagman (Mar 29, 2007 7:29 pm) And with those last 4 words, you hint at the real reason for the HELC slowdown.

Replying to: tagman (Mar 29, 2007 7:20 pm) With hosts like that I doubt I will have much time running the Bobcat BTW, neither the Bobcat or the Saab will be visible from the public road, not even the house for that matter. I actually missed the driveway entrance altogether the first time I went there. I had a 75ft driveway with the house where I was living a few years ago, but this 200+ft "trail" in the woods, before hitting a 75ft diameter circular where the structures are located, is something else. That's why the Babcat will be necessary to begin with; the Saab would be hopeless when snow storm hits as it had plenty difficulty struggling up the 75ft straight one-way driveway a few years ago after heavy snow. The modern HELC's are only beginning to be re-acquainted with vehicle height. OTOH, it won't be long though before they get to the height of R class or the pre-1970's Rolls sedans.
#24384 of 24700 2006 Leftover 750i - WHAT'S A FAIR DEAL????? by iceman2 Mar 31, 2007 (12:30 pm)
In the Chicago area - BMW dealer has a NEW leftover 2006 750i. They want it off the lot and willing to deeply discount. I'm having a hard time finding new pricing/invoice info on '06's. Looking to negotiate a steep discount, then a great lease. The car's sticker as follows: Car $71,800 Luxury Seating Premium Sound Comfort Access Satellite Rear Shade Total MSRP $79,990 Any thoughts on price to offer?
