#895 of 3133 decisions! decisions! by uhic Aug 26, 2007 (5:44 am)
I am in the market for a new car. I just started a job where I will make 160.000 plus bonuses. However, I have a 3500.00 mortgage plus bills. My 1995 mustang is on its last leg. Imagine me in a shirt and tie in Fl. With no A/C. Anyway, I want to buy a new car. Since I have 2 kids, 4 and 1, I was thinking about a small SUV. Now, here is my dilemma.   1- Do I lease or buy. Lease would make sense, since I may have a greater income in 3-5 yrs and may want a bigger car. I would save more money, buying may be best.   2- Do I go for the luxury car now or later. I could go for a non luxury car (murano, highlander, explore) and get a premium package. Maybe lease it and then buy the lux in 3 yrs. Or go for it now and get the lux. if payments are not that much different.   3- I really want the lux. I think I can afford it, but I am very careful not to live above my means. That is how I maintain an 800 credit score. What model should I go with? Lexus, BMW, Acura, MB etc. I heard that lexus gives you more for your buck, so I am looking mostly at them.   I am in Orlando florida, but I am willing to go anywhere in Florida to pick up a good deal.   I know it is a lot, but I am very confuse and would love anyone's input   Thanks, Uhic Replies to this message: britcrlvr (Aug 28, 2007 3:29 am)

Replying to: delta737h (Aug 25, 2007 1:41 pm) you and I were discussing tactics about car prices, and we had our differences, however, I believe that you are knowledable in the field of leasing, and I would be interested in knowing your thought process.

Replying to: uhic (Aug 26, 2007 5:44 am) You make some valid points, I think that you could get luxury, but Lexus seems to increase the price of its vehicles, yes reliability is excellent, but less expensive manufacturer's are making a vehicle that fully loaded will run you several thousand less than a lexus. I presume you are looking at the rx model considering the fact thaty you don't want a bulky suv, yet you want something that will haul two children. Clearly. the Explorer, is the least expensive of all three and would give you the most options later on. However, I think that although quality has improved in American made car's the Explorer is built on a truck chassis which means that road isolation and quetness as well as comfort is going to be minimized. secondly, there are too many cost cutting materials in that car for my liking. Howver, price is a positive. The Nissan Murano has been out for several years, and has sold fairly well, Considering the Infiniti FX a more expensive Murano is going to be redesigned, within the next year or so I wiould expect the same for the Murano. Reliability shhould be well above average, and you could get a pretty good deal on this car. I think the Acura MDX and Acura RDX are just plain ugly, and the RDX is going to be slightly smaller than what you are looking for, this is just my hunch. Unless you want a used X5 I would say it is better to wait on this, a used M-Class can be purchased at a reasonable price, beware of the old body style (more boxy) as there have been major quality problems. I think a year old Infinit FX might be a better way to go than a new Murano, and depreciation will hav hit the car so it would be a good leverage point for you. The only other The two suv's that you have not mentioned are the Hyundai and the Mazda. The Hyundai Santa fe, is a less expensive verion of the RX, if fake wood pieces don't bother you, you might find the similariteis eerily similar This is the only detraction I could find, leather is nice, fit and finish are top notch, and price is an added bounus. The dollar value suggests the Hyundai, and its reliability is now close to that of top manufacturers. The Mazda cx-7 might surprise you with its energetic driving and you could load it up and still have change in your pocket. If you want something slightly larger, the CX-9 is another alternative. I think I have covered most of the bases, I have not addressed purhcasing or leasing, obviously because I need to know more information before I make a reccomendation.   you can contact me at peregrinatorcox.net if you have any more questions.

Replying to: aujoe1 (Aug 20, 2007 7:05 pm) sam112233 - I'm in the Atlanta area and trying to get quotes from other areas to compare - Alabama, Tennessee, SC. Did you get quotes from Atlanta? Did you deal with the internet manager in Bham or go to the dealership? Do you mind providing your salesperson's name? Thanks!

#901 of 3133 08 RX350 AWD with DVD & Nav by krisv Aug 28, 2007 (9:08 am)
Has anyone recently purchased a vehicle with these options? I'm negotiating now and it looks like it will be a special order since we don't want the ML stereo system. Curious on what others are paying for similar vehicles and where you're located. Finding there are not a lot of AWD vehicles in the Southeast.

#903 of 3133 Lexus RX 350 in Northern VA by crackberry Aug 28, 2007 (2:11 pm)
Hi,   We are planning to shop for a '08 RX 350 AWD (Premium Package plus, wheel lock, all weather mats) in Northern VA.   What price should we aim for paying for the RX around northern VA (Vienna/Fairfax) area? In this forums some people have posted that they were able to buy the RX '08 less than the invoice. Is it reasonable to ask for $1500 or $2000 less than the invoice?   Do share if you know of a good dealership where I can get a good deal.   Thanks, CB
#904 of 3133 2008 RX 350 (Northern NJ) by heyub2 Aug 28, 2007 (6:26 pm)
Prestige Lexus - Northern NJ delivered a competitive price for a 2008 RX 350 (premium package, with navigation). Initial sales experience was positive (albeit, time consuming), and the "pick-up" experience was okay. Remain disciplined, and recognize that the ancillary offers are just that. The 'extras' - insurance offers, service contracts (LoJack, Window Etchinging, etc...) can be purchased elsewhere for a "fraction of the cost."
