Replying to: stickguy (Dec 09, 2008 5:03 pm) i'm so surprised that there isn't one standard V70 out of such a huge lot. |

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!

Replying to: stickguy (Dec 12, 2008 4:47 am) It's not like they are RWD, and the AWD will worsen steering feel, etc.. As long as you can get one that's normal, and not the XC70, then I'd be willing to lose the 1 MPG to get one... I'd guess highway mileage for your commute would be very similar. Not that I'm telling you what to do...  EDIT: Okay.. just re-read.. No turbos available in the AWD? never mind, then. |
