thanks for the input. The X3 was just a thought. If I still was working real lose to home and doing 1/2 the miles, I might go for it. I do actually like the 325 better. I like XC90s, but am not considering it for the same reason. Bigger than I need, and doesn't get very good mileage. But, If I needed to replace the minivan now, I might go that way. I saw the SS posting Q. I also saw a few of their listings on Ebay. They have some nice stuff, but pricey, but remember, there is always asking and taking on any car price! I have been working with JRL on Volvos. Just getting frustrating that there are no V70s out there, unless I want to downgrade to a base motor (too slow), or upgrade to a XC70 (don't really like the looks, but I should go at least drive one). Decided the V50 AWD wasn't quite right for me, so passed on that. I think the 12K miles V70R from a few weeks ago was the one I will regret not poaching. Wouldn't have been possible anyway the way the sale went. It just resold on Ebay fromt eh dealer in Oh that bought it for ~21,900 IIRC. Nice little profit for him. So, if the 325xiT doesn't work out, I will keep waiting for something good to pop up. May end up getting snows for the Accord just as a safety measure, or steal the Odyssey from my wife if the weather looks dodgy. She can always work from home if need be. I can't. If my commute changes in the spring to become more local (it might), then I will revisit the shole process if I still am driving the Honda. |

Forgot to mention, I am 99% sure those are all base 2.4i cars. Not enough engine in something that heavy. Real good deals these days on S60s if you don't need a wagon. |

Replying to: roadburner (Nov 09, 2008 2:21 pm) So the Mazdaspeed3 keeps breaking, you need to drive 400 miles R/T for repairs, but you could unload it for a nice used bmw where you'd have both a great local dealer and a great indie shop. That's a tough one..... |

I ran an errand after lunch today and realized that the radio in the Audi didn't turn itself off when I took out the key and opened the door. Tried turning the car on/off a few times, but the radio stayed on... I finally resorted to manually turning the radio off (press and hold the power button). Once I got home, I disconnected the car battery for about ten minutes, then reconnected it, and everything was fine. (Hey, that's easier than making an appointment and taking it in to the dealer...)
