Replying to: qbrozen (May 19, 2008 11:23 am) Now were I to actually do something about the Volvo it would replace the Accord. My wife kind of envies the Celica.... If I had the Volvo she could have the Celica no problem.

Replying to: fezo (May 19, 2008 11:55 am) What a guy,"here honey you can have the 10 year old economy car, I'll take the 5 year old luxury car if I have to." But at least your wife likes convertibles , my wife does not like to get her hair mussed up and will not ride in them.

Replying to: guss (May 20, 2008 3:28 am) Actually, I'd had the Celica all of a day and I started getting the "If you found one with a stick that you like I could drive this one.".... She has a thing for little red cars that at least look sporty. My guess would be if I ever did get the Volvo (which won't be this specific Volvo) she might decide the more luxurious Volvo might fit her better.... That's when I'd mention it's cheaper to run the Celica. Her putting on more miles than me is how I got snookered out of my Accord. |

Another pretty one for me to drool over. That one is about 90 miles from me. And certified. Its SOOOO tempting. But, although wifey kept saying "go ahead and get one," she's now come into contact with reality and is keeping me from jumping at this one. Says we should wait till things settle down for us. Damned reason! By the way, i went yesterday and drove a similar one near me. It was black over tan with similar miles. Luckily I was able to take it for an extended drive and I realized something wasn't quite right. It was making some strange turbo noises. When I got back to the dealership, I popped the hood and discovered the previous owner had completely removed the stock airbox and put a hot-air-intake in its place. That signals to me that it was probably beat on by someone without a clue (therefore not taken care of). So I had to pass. |

see. this is what happens when folks go quiet on here for nearly a week. I had no support, so I wound up falling off the wagon! An '04 titanium G35X with automatic, premium pack, and 33k tiny miles just followed me home.

Replying to: qbrozen (May 26, 2008 10:27 am) On June 1, I will make my 18th lease payment and have only six left to go--time to start looking... I'm thinking of something like a used Saturn Aura XR if I buy, or whatever subsidized leases are on the menu in November/December if I lease... If the automakers continue to have slow new car sales, I predict heavy incentives towards the end of the year to bring up sales figures. |

Congrats! But what does the "X" stand for? The Sandman

is all wheel drive. Nice car Q. How much did that go for? Nice as high strung as the Volvo, but plenty quick, and fun to drive. Big step up from the Accord in driving experience, comfort, luxury, etc. And no V6 FWD issues to worry about.

Replying to: qbrozen (May 26, 2008 10:27 am) But what happened to the Volvo ? I think you will like the G better though, I have been lusting after them since they came out. Btw Mathias just priced a similar rwd '04 at $19.5 to $22k. |
