picked up my new ride

Re: help me pick my new ride

Heh, I've been shopping Solstice's around here. They have a good base, <$20k, but once you add on necessary options, like air conditioning, power windows, decent stereo, etc it gets around the $26k range. I just wish they had about 50 more HP and I would probably own one. If I am going to spend 26 grand I might as well drop a few more bucks and get a Mustang. The 2007 GXP looks really interesting though.

I'd look into the mustang also, but for the same reasons I don't want the mitsubishi

Re: help me pick my new ride

which type by the way, you only have the front of the car and is of a Mercedes C230 2002, so are you going new or old with that

or

Re: help me pick my new ride

Perris, in that price-range, you might even be able to get a deal on an Acrua 3.2 CL type-S, used.

260HP, manumatic (or manual) shifter and it comes fully loaded with all kindsa lovely stuff

Maybe not quite as edgy but it has juice and ammenities and even has a servicable back-seat :devious:

Re: help me pick my new ride

ya, a luxery nameplate would do the trick also, so that car's an option, that's why the bense and I am also looking at a few of the used jags

as far as a serviceable back seat, I'm keeping my suv and when I'm in this car I want every excuse to take nobody with me

Re: help me pick my new ride

I would stay away from a slightly used jag m8.

When getting a car, there are a few things to consider.

The model/maker/issues with the car and the cost of ownership. This is aside from looks and performance and interior aesthetics and comfort/sport level.

Bmw's, Merc's, Jags and american models typically are not very good at everything.

Bmw's and Merc's I would take over the rest.

The most reliable brands are toyota and honda and nissan (imo) hence why Acura would be a nice fit

The mini is a good, solid car and thats why it was my pick no.1 for j00.

The c230 is not a very problematic car either. The other two are kind of a toss-up since they haven't been around long.

Mini.

Reasons?


Seks seh.
Bolt on baubbles = HP +++
Fuel efficient.
Modern and old school at the same time.
Younger chics dig em.



I get the trailer trash stinky finger feeling from the redline.
The Mercedes is too german and old school.
And the Pontiac is cool, but in a tebaggin wagon-Gay and loving it sort of way.

What?

The mini is quite possibly the ugliest car ever made. I can't believe anyone likes those.

Re: help me pick my new ride

that ford is pretty hot, what's that go for?

however, same problem as the pontiac, usually American cars are good for about 15000 miles, foreign cars are good for 300000

I love these two American candidates, but I have no clue how they will run after I put on some milage

also I don't know if the look is going to get tired

the mustang got tired looking fast

tough choices

Re: help me pick my new ride

The GT? Like $200K if I'm not mistaken?

Re: help me pick my new ride

Ford sucks @ss anyway.


Just ask Dave Davis. His pretty little Moose Tang Cubra lost to my 85 Chevy pickup.


Bimmer is better for the same monies. http://autos.yahoo.com/usedcars/sea..._sl=&vtype=autos&mk=BMW&mo=545i&submit=Search
