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: houdini1 (Jun 13, 2008 4:46 am) a used LX 570 on their lot with about 8,000 miles. Thinking it may be a good buy, I asked the price. Wrong. It sold new for $80,000. and they were now asking $85,000. The salesman said their allocation for new ones was sold out for the next year and a half so they felt justified in asking a premium price. I told him he was nuts Thats so unfair people try to take so much advantage if your looking to get a car. Asking more price than the new car I hate this kind of people.

Replying to: houdini1 (Jun 13, 2008 4:46 am) So much for the high price of gas affecting the sales of this particular SUV. When you get to the level of LX570, RR Supercharged, Cayenne Turbo, etc. gas prices just don't matter anymore. Ask Ferrari or Aston Martin if gas prices are hurting sales. I don't think so.

Replying to: lexusguy (Jun 13, 2008 3:08 pm) Well, the LX 570 is one SUPER SUV. I don't think anything else even comes close to it. Plus they are apparently in short supply. I might just check out the LC. Replies to this message: lexusguy (Jun 13, 2008 6:31 pm) tagman (Jun 25, 2008 6:48 am) lexusguy (Jun 25, 2008 8:33 am) and 1 more... bmlexus (Jun 13, 2008 11:20 pm)

I might just check out the LC Its very well put together great for family in a long drive cruising. I would say the LX is a better choice then the LC.

Replying to: laurasdada (Jun 14, 2008 6:06 pm) True. I have no problem with the way the Lexus dealer priced this truck, I was just extremely surprised. A supreme compliment for the LX. Apparently Lexus only plans to sell around 10,000 of these a year so they are in very short supply and there is no intent to increase production.

Replying to: lexusguy (Jun 13, 2008 3:08 pm) ... Ask Ferrari or Aston Martin if gas prices are hurting sales. I don't think so. Well, considering that those cars only see about 5 or 10 tanks of gas per owner before being sold (10 being a stretch), why would they? You should see how many M5s are coming back to BMW lots now. Read the forums. The guys/gals love the car, but they are just sick of filling it up all the time. And with gas prices headed the direction they are, it quickly becomes a fiscal nightmare to drive such cars. Rich people didn't get rich by throwing away money just because they can...

Replying to: lexusguy (Jun 13, 2008 6:31 pm) It certainly is an impressive vehicle. Not my kind of thing, but its a great execution by Lexus. That was my reaction to it when I saw it at the car show. Most mpressive SUV from Toyota to date... yet a pathetically thirsty gas hog. Toyota is smart to keep the supply very limited... not too many folks would actually want one. By keeping it in short supply, it doesn't appear to be the sales loser it otherwise would be. And I do say "loser" from a sales perspective, not from a quality perspective, as it is a quality vehicle... just way too thirsty and expensive to sell in ANY large numbers, with SUV sales in the toilet the way they are. But overall, not my thing either. TM Replies to this message: lexusguy (Jun 25, 2008 8:33 am) houdini1 (Jun 25, 2008 1:27 pm)
