Replying to: scott6113 (Apr 23, 2008 11:41 am) Lincoln MKZ, my head bumps with the seat all the way down. Wife thinks it's for old people. BMW 328xi, cramped BMW 535xi used, 5k miles and the dealer still wanted 48k Mercedes C cramped, plasticy and E 4matic, high Lexus es350, no awd, low door for back seat Cadillac CTS, 47k the way I want it equipped, and I don't trust GM quality Infiniti G35x tight seats, high beltline, feels like you are sitting low, but helluva car. Acura, better car than I thought I could afford. Priced like the G35x, but more in the M class size wise. It doesn't have quite the prestige of the BMW, but I'm of mixed mind about that. I'm not a 'Look at me! I got money!' kinda person, since so many of those types are debt junkies. They have three in blue so I think they've got to move them. I'll let you know how it works out. I'm going tonight. Also, an old friend is the parts manager there. I didn't want to use him to get a better price, he has had a rough career and I'll mention him only after the sale, if I can give him a boost. Nicest guy. Worst luck, but it seems to be changing. Thanks for all the help. Scott

Yes, Volvo was on my list. But I know people who have bought them recently, and looked on consumer opinion websites, and their quality is supposed to have plummeted. I also like Saab, but only the tiny one has AWD. I hope Volvo improves, for your sake, but do the research as I did. Certainly no one has a better durability reputation than Volvo, so I hope they recover. Scott

Replying to: vavavavolvo (Apr 24, 2008 12:33 pm) Blue./taupe 2008 RL with nav Got mud flaps, wheel locks and wooden shifter. Fought for half the doc fee and wheel locks thrown in because I didn't want them. $42,800 Maybe I could have saved a couple hundred, but I'm really tired. We went on a good 45 minute test drive, wife got comfortable. Hate the last minute dickering. But it's done. Now all I need is the certified check!! Scott |

It does have improvements, so if you don't mind the style, it is a better car than the 08 What is it with these cleft-palate looking cars? Blocking out half the grill with faux chrome is a fashion statement? I did OK, but they pulled a lowball price and then dealer addons to get their profits over a grand,  $1200. They lived, I lived. It's OK.
