Replying to: lovemyclk (Dec 07, 2005 1:53 am) do you think a 2003 530 is a better value than, for example, a 2006 CTS or Acura TL? We so often get sucked in by the new cars, that we forget that just a year or two ago we were raving about a car that is no longer on our radar screen.

Talk about a large range of cars...vans, cars, SUV's?

Replying to: starman98 (Dec 07, 2005 6:25 pm) And this really isn't about ME. It's as much about what you folks think of cars that might be close to meeting this set of parameters. I might not have thought of a3-year old 5-series if one of you had not pointed it out, for example. I'm not sure there is that much worth driving that gets this high MPG. I likely have to lower my MPG figure to 25 mixed. That will give me way more cars to choose from. but I'd really like a high MPG vehicle I just don't want to give up all the performance (and comfort) I guess what I am wanting is an entry-level luxury performance sedan (or coupe or oncvertible) that gets really good MPG. the only car that meets that need may be the RX400H, which is more than 10 grand too much. (then again, I'd be buying it for the long term, planning to plug it in within 5 years, and then getting some great miles/$$) so....a used 525? I'm too mature for a 3 series. I have toyed with a used 3-series convertible, but my buddy wouldn't sellhis below high blue book...so it's sitting in his garage waiting for me to love it....at $38K???) the Accord hybrid piqued my interest, but I've heard mixed reviews (from owners, not simply from naysayers)
