Replying to: anonymousposts (Nov 04, 2009 3:23 pm) So, the deal is more important than the car? If Camry is on the list then any V6 Camry would probably tick enough boxes within your budget. Of course if your budget is flexible... |

Replying to: anonymousposts (Nov 04, 2009 3:23 pm) Everything else on your list is derivative of what you have.... and, not what you really want.. To go Euro, you have to give up the idea of Honda/Toyo reliability.. Just drink the Kool-Aid... it'll be okay... Life is short.. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 04, 2009 3:51 am) OK, so I called Village about the M3. The sales guy tells me that it's an '03, they are cleaning it up, and they are fitting two new rear tires- and they haven't put a price on it yet. Then he asks, "You interested in buying it?" I almost said, "No, I just call every dealer that has a used M3 on the lot; I want to make sure that they all go to good homes." I'm calling again tomorrow, as they allegedly will have an asking price by then. Here's hoping that the only options are Xenons, H-K, and the cold weather package...

Replying to: roadburner (Nov 04, 2009 7:45 pm) I think HK was standard on M3s...... It was standard on the 330i for most of the E46 run... (option on 325i) |

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 05, 2009 3:59 am) It may be. I still regret not jumping on tha2004 Titanium/Imola I found that only had Xenons, H-K and 19" wheels. No sunroof, no power seats... Perfect- for me, anyway. |

We already have a RWD nice mostly sporty sedan in the Lexus. The Prelude is a sporty coupe ... what's missing is a small wagon or utility. Is there such a thing as a fun-to-drive wagon or sedan? BMW wagons are out there but then we get back to the price issue. I've heard a lot of people are unhappy with their X3's. Thought about a CRV but seems that the 07's had a differential issue and the new ones are way expensive .. might as well get a BMW.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 04, 2009 4:06 pm) I agree with kyfdx go look at a 9-3. You can buy 2007 anniversary editions with the six year 100,000 CPO warranty for mid-high teens now depending on the mileage. 210 hp turbocharged 4 cylinder and mid 30s mpg with a manual on the highway. An automatic gives you low 30s. 2007 models got six speed manuals as standard equipment too. 2006 and under 9-3s were five speeds unless they were an Aero and you don't want the Aero V6 motor. The anniversary edition gave you all the good stuff from the Aero (Nicer interior, nicer seats, more leather, nicer leather, better wheels, little spoiler, better sound system etc.) but without that Turbo V6. I would rather have the lighter more efficient 210 hp 4 cylinder then the big heavy inefficient 255 V6. |

Replying to: anonymousposts (Nov 05, 2009 6:01 am) Have you considered the Subaru XT, either the Outback or the Forester? It was even available (for a short time) with a manual transmission!  Subaru (It bugs me when they take the interior photos with the steering wheel upside-down)
