Replying to: roadburner (Dec 09, 2008 4:08 pm) I would think even BMW dealers would be marking down cars. Their sales have been way down the past few months. Would you trade the Mazda3 in ?

Replying to: guss (Dec 10, 2008 8:30 am) Yes, I'm sure that they would deal, and I would be getting rid of the Mazda. The thing is, I'd still have to finance about $15K- and the only debt I really planned to be carrying into 2009 was a 36 month no-interest loan on a new TV and BD player. |

Replying to: roadburner (Dec 09, 2008 4:08 pm) You'd think in this economy, you could get a great deal, but then I don't know the market for new 128i's? And you've probably done the comparisons w/buying a new or used 3-series.... I saw this wierd movie about some guy who was drugged by kidney thieves & got his kidney stolen (!??) in Mexico, not good......didn't even get a new bmw.... PS-what kind of new TV? I've been shopping for a new 42" Panasonic Plasma, but only if I get a killer deal. Personally I'd hoard cash now & be shopping for a slightly used bmw........

You might be interested in this video ... looks like you can hang with the Jeeps and Hummers of the world in your new whip: Can your car do this? (Note: you may want to turn the volume down, as the soundtrack is quite annoying) |

Replying to: michaell (Dec 11, 2008 11:43 am) I wonder if they even bothered to air down the tires. |

Replying to: woodyww (Dec 10, 2008 1:38 pm) I'm looking at the 50" Panasonic Viera PZ800U. I like the picture- the THX setting is pretty good right out of the box. Another possibility is the Sony 52" XBR6 LCD. In either case I'm also going to add a Panny BD35 player. All I've got right now is a 30" Toshiba CRT, and I need a screen size that does justice to my home theater...

Apparently by '05-'06, no one bought FWD V70s. Or if they did, it was base motor cars (too slow for me!) and/or they just keep them forever. In this huge sale, there were 4 or so V70s, all non-turbo, and a couple of V50s. The V70s went pretty cheap. But, I am holding out for a 2.5T. Evan an AWD would be OK, but I think they stopped offering that after '04. Now, if you want an XC70 (I don't like the way it drives), they are coming out of the wing wang!
