Replying to: captain2 (Oct 25, 2007 12:29 pm) Birmingham,Alabama I assume - craziness a condition of folks from that part of the country? And yes, great news for you.   Yes, Birmingham, Alabama. And it depends on your idea of crazy. We're a red state, are part of the bible belt, and revolve around the Alabama and Auburn football seasons for three months out of the year.   So, are we crazy? That's for you to decide. (Yes, I voted Republican for governor [haven't gotten to vote for a Pres. yet), yes, I'm a Born-Again Christian who attends a Southern-Baptist church, and yes, there is a University of Alabama tag on the front of my Honda!).   I'm not here to preach though, so I won't go into any of those three subjects since they're unrelated here!

Replying to: thegraduate (Oct 25, 2007 12:32 pm) no, no, no - craziness in the sense of buying ANY car that is 11 years old and with 175K on it (for almost any amount of money) is flat out zonkers - keeping political, collegiate, and religuous affliations out of it.

Replying to: captain2 (Oct 25, 2007 12:44 pm) I agree that it is crazy. And, it is now 12 years old! For me I hope it'll be crazy all the way to the bank!

Replying to: allmet33 (Oct 25, 2007 8:33 am) "I see them making great strides in the next few years and surprising a lot of folks. The Azera is a start."   I agree, I hope they keep putting pressure on the rest of the auto makers because we will all benefit from better cars. Just look at some of GM's new offerings (Acadia triplets, Aura, Malibu, CTS) light years ahead of anything they have offered in 15 years. I am also anxiously awaiting the Hyundai Genesis, if it is as good as all the hype they will have a winner.

Replying to: thegraduate (Oct 25, 2007 11:56 am) Yes, but we're talking 4 years (to the day almost) and 105K miles!!! Factor that in.   If I had sold privately...I could have probably gotten $6,500 for it! *grin*   Honestly, I'm not worried about the resale value on my Azera...I plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off.

Replying to: allmet33 (Oct 25, 2007 1:12 pm) and if you do (kkep it until the wheels fall off) and have minmal problems with it, then you will have certainly made a good choice. One suggestion for you though, drive it back to the dealer BEFORE the wheels fall off - it'll be worth more to them that way Replies to this message: allmet33 (Oct 26, 2007 4:36 am) jaymagic (Oct 26, 2007 7:39 am) allmet33 (Oct 26, 2007 8:50 am)

Replying to: derrelhgreen (Oct 25, 2007 4:26 pm) Actually, neither of us is here 24/7 - surprise!   Those who feel like comments are off-topic really don't help things by adding more off-topic comments.   Let's get back to the subject.
