Replying to: laurasdada (Aug 03, 2008 7:03 pm) My XKs have always been convertibles, and the XK convertible's rear seat is a leather covered, seat-belted parcel shelf. Nobody with legs will fit back there. The coupe would probably be slightly better, if the front passenger were to move the seat most of the way forward. You really don't want to be in the back of an XK, though.

Who wants to actually go to college anyway? More wars, my friends!

He'll go for a 328. I'd love to say 335 but its just waayyyy overpriced. OW, how can an 06 Audi A8 cost less than a new 335??? As far as I know a CPO 06 A8 still cost about $45k...

Replying to: circlew (Aug 06, 2008 3:17 am) The obvious question is just how well your 330xi has met your needs. What model year is it, and how many miles do you project it will have by the end of the year? Your lease ends at a very good time. You'll have one of the best opportunities to make a good deal on a brand new or new "leftover". And, of course, there is the opportunity to buy your 330xi if it's been awesome and if the price is right. Sometimes the leased vehicle can be purchased for less than the written residual value, but you would need to address that possibility only if you are considering keeping the leased vehicle. A new 3-series would be nice, and the '09 will get the all-new enhanced iDrive, with simpler controls, and enhanced features, The all-new iDrive is an extensive revision, not just a tweak. At this very moment I am not able to easily link info to you on the '09 iDrive, sorry, but if you Google it you will be amazed at the new system. I would have liked the new software and technology in my 1er, but not the new widescreen. It fits nicely in the other models, but is actually too big for the 1er IMO. Regardless, Google it and check it out. It's truly incredible and is worth much more than the incremental price increase for the '09 model. Trust me, the '09 iDrive is an incredible leap forward, and will offer major technology advancements... simply awesome. Remember, it is the "car", not the "deal" that you will be driving. A fair deal on a fantastic car is always better than a fantastic deal on a fair car.  TM

Replying to: tagman (Aug 06, 2008 4:31 am) The mileage will be high, approx. 44K at turn-in. The buy out price stands at $29,723 for purchase now and residual was $28K. I would consider buying it at $24K but I am sure that will be declined. The idrive never bothered me on the loaner 5 series I used during a service call. The 335i I used one day blew my socks off. I will check out the new one, though. Regards, OW

Replying to: circlew (Aug 06, 2008 5:01 am) BTW, the '09 iDrive will blow the doors off of the current system. Take the time to Google it. Cool technology! TM |

Replying to: lexusguy (Aug 05, 2008 8:54 pm) Jag dealer in Manhattan has 10 '08 XKs in inventory (per website). All discounted ~$6-7k from MSRP. It's a start... But, more than likely in '09 start looking for used/leftover '08s. Unless my fancy is struck elsewhere. And assuming, economically, no surprises to the downside. Drive by, among many others, Porsche/Audi dealership every day. Shiny, black 1 series sitting in used car row. Wonder what it was traded for? Maybe the anti-Tagman: 1 Series traded for 997? Bought at auction? I don't believe that this dealership family includes BMW. Grey TL behind the 1, TL is prettier...
