Did you bring it up?
 
You brought up female drivers. That's all I recall. But it's irrelevant who brought it up anyway. Unless, that is, we first need you to bring up a topic of discussion before we can talk about it!... LOL.
 
I know that I don't bring up most items of discussion, but I sure don't make an announcement that I didn't bring it up.
 
I don't see your point here. Unless you are suggesting that I shouldn't have mentioned your IS. Is it off-limits? Afterall, someone else mentioned the 1-series was cute. Should I have complained or announced that I didn't bring it up?
 
Who cares, man? Are you OK?

Tagman, I'm surprised you would sell your Porsche for an I35i. I've always thought that a thoughtful guy would buy a 911, take care of it, and just grow old with it. Seriously. Whereas something like an I35i is something you'd date for a couple of months and move on.

2001gs430 (post 14325): "So many posts since I last came here, but this one stuck out the most. I saw a white 1 coupe on the weekend. I have to say it is a cute looking car."
 
louiswei (post 14327): "No wonder so far all the 1er on the street that I saw (less than 5) have female drivers..."
 
tagman (post 14329): "Must be something about your neighborhood then... LOL.
  
World's largest 1-series website is loaded with hundreds and hundreds of members and the vehicle's member ownership is over 90% male. But, the ladies do indeed love the car, and often the driver just by association. It's all too fickle, but true.
  
My bet is that the Lexus IS has more female drivers than the BMW 1-Series, especially the IS250, but the IS350 as well. Don't you think, Lou? After all, you raised the whole point."
 
'Nuff said... I am done with this discussion.

Right on. There a lot of nice high-end cars out there that are just hitting their sweet spot price-wise. The former "owners" have moved on to their next lease payment and now the smart money can step in and scoop up some deals.
 
The XK Jag is a good example. Good car, most have been driven relatively few miles, and a lousy resale makes for a potentially good deal. Sadly, the coupes which I think look better, are more practical in New England, and offer more secure public parking, are relatively hard to find. I suspect that the new Maser's that we see advertized all over the Weekend Edition of the WSJ will be a similar good deal in a couple of years.
 
The Porsche 911 has (supposedly) the highest resale value of any car and few are leased. This suggests to me that there wouldn't be too many screaming deals on used 997s. Surprisingly, the Bentley Continental holds up very well resale wise. I saw and had a ride in a neighbor' s 2009 Continental GTC last night and it was a fantastic experience on a hot July night. Hopefully as soon as the hot money migrates to the GTC, used coupes will drop to well under 100K .

Two gorgeous coupes against one less than lovely background!
 
It does indeed appear to be an S5, which you must see in person to appreciate. Pix do not do it justice.
 
Brilliant! Why choose, just buy both!
 
But, OW, did you crop out the XLR?

Meet the new coupe. Same as the old coupe... Yeah, is it the CLC? Externally, it is the same dud from years gone by. Unless it's priced like a Civic coupe (and even then) who buys that over a 1, 3 or A5???

Where'd you hear that? The 911 isn't even in ALG's top deprecation category, let alone "highest of any car". CR says the Prius is #1 right now.

Male/female 1 series drivers? Who cares! But, let me ask you this: doesn't a dropped top look better on a female driver?
 
Umm, yeah. That's what I meant. The dropped top of the 1 'vert... Yeah, the car.

Or the G37. Heck, even the CTS coupe. All they did was graft the new nose onto the old C-class. The interior is the same as it was eight years ago. Who do they think they can fool with that?
