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.

This must be the topic with the most number of posts I've ever seen. It dates all the way back to my early days at Edmunds. Wow. Ladyblue Replies to this message: houdini1 (Jul 07, 2007 3:21 pm) pat (Jul 08, 2007 9:48 am)

#24551 of 24699 Best Used Car? by copyrightatty Jul 21, 2007 (10:15 am)
I am mid-30s, used to be a software company executive, now am an attorney. Looking to get a nice 5-6 year old luxury car to put in the stable for the singlular purpose of carrying clients to dinner or golf, and 5-6 long road trips to visit clients. Price range: 18-22k. The car will need to be in service for about 4 years before replacement. I am currently looking at 2001 BMW 740IL, 2002 MBZ E55 AMG, and 2001-02 MBZ S430. I have ruled out Jags. Do you have a preference for a car in this group and age range with about 60k on the odo? Thanks.

Replying to: copyrightatty (Jul 21, 2007 10:15 am) Well good luck in your new profession, and odd as it may be, I am using a copyright attorney for a small problem right now....Personally I would think the S430 would have a nice subdued look and work better for your needs....A word of caution though---the repairs could be very expensive on any of them----Also logic would suggest to stay away from any amg, unless you know it`s history......Again `Good Luck` Tony Replies to this message: copyrightatty (Jul 21, 2007 6:30 pm) anthonyp (Jul 22, 2007 6:23 pm)

Replying to: anthonyp (Jul 21, 2007 6:04 pm) You figure the AMGs have been run a little hard? I was afraid of that. I did find a 2002 S430 with only 11,000 miles on it for a reasonable amount, above my budget but who can beat a car that has basically been garaged for 5 years.

Replying to: copyrightatty (Jul 21, 2007 6:30 pm) Get it checked out---then that sounds like a good operatunity....I noticed you had a suv....so this could just be the special car for special events...Of course I bet the clients you get or have really want you for your knowledge--so enjoy the car, as you will speak for yourself Tony

Replying to: copyrightatty (Jul 21, 2007 10:15 am) I would definitely avoid the E55 AMG. First of all you don't need that kind of performance for your intended use (unless you want to scare your clients in signing with you, LOL!). Plus the repairs and maintainence on that will likely be big bucks. I noticed that neither a Lexus LS430 nor an Infiniti Q45 are not on your list. For your intended use I think these would be perfect. They are luxury cars, low maintainence, and least likely to breakdown with your clients in the car! Let us know what you settle on.
