Since you know so much please guide the less intelligent to information that confirms your 0-60 claim for a 328.nope maybe ur just stupid and kno nothing about cars!
my friend says his 07 335i is a real fire breather and he's had a couple m cars previously.
Even my GF know you have to get a 330 or higher for the money!
Both those cars look like a colossal waste of cash. You could just buy a 99 Camry and have a bunch of money to save or pay off bills with.
Remember Blue wants you to get a VW or Porsche. All the more reason to get the Lexus or the BMW.
More of a waste than an H3?
I wouldn't have bought that to begin with, but I ride the bus.
Oddly enough, when I was in Portland over summer, I rented an H3 to go up to Seattle & Whistler with. It wasnt a piece of crap, really any more than anything else, and the mileage wasnt as bad as my Jeep Cherokee was, but the damned windows in the thing are TINY. You cant see people next to you or beside you for crap. They're dangerous for that reason alone. And also, they really arent that big. I couldnt get two assembled bikes in the back of it with out really stuffing them in. It's just a jacked up Honda CRV IMO.
Anyway, I meant he should sell the H3 and buy a camry. I hate the bus.
I just think it's funny what they charge for them is all.
Portland buses are awesome. I get a lot of reading done and there are interesting people to observe when I get tired of reading. The 57 runs every 15 minutes and I can ride my bike from the transit center to the office without dying (about 8 miles on the DH bike).
The 335i is fast and solid, but still looks like David Bowie's morning sh!t.
If MSRP means anything, it looks like Herr Mancil is looking at performance oriented sedans in the $35k range, so I offered up what I thought was appropriate. If he was indeed looking at a Forester, an S4 Avant sounds right up his alley if he didn't like the driving dynamics of the Subie.
An older IS300 with a turbo would be a beast, but something tells me you're not into that sort of thing. Buy one for $15k, dump $10k on mods, and it will kick the crap out of any car posted in this thread. And look better...and drive better. Can't say how reliable it'd be. But, like I said, doesn't sound like that's what you want.

Both are chick cars, step it up to a 5 series BMW or a GS 350
Neither
Yeah - I'm looking at the G35 as well - it seems to be a great bang for the buck. I have to take it out for a test drive
Lexus ISF.
you hook me with the extra 15k I need and I'll get it
Amen. And those cars (and the H3) exude that "OMGpleaselookatme!!!" vibe.
I'm pretty sure image is pretty important to mancilg. 99 Camry wouldn't fit...
Image is everything on the freeway, with a DH rig strapped to the roof, both cars will say "My debt to income ratio is high, very high" equally well.
Or maybe it exudes, "I made good financial decisions in life and now want to surround myself in luxury because I've earned it."
He'll be trading in an H3 so... nix on the good financial decision myth.
Good financial decisions means you drive a Civic and can retire when you are 40.
damn. i'm 42. still working.
lthumbsdown:
who cares what new car you buy... as long as you buy something... my stock portfolio needs your big ticket purchase items!
Kids - totally your own fault.damn. i'm 42. still working.
Fixed.
BMW and Audi makes super nice Wagons and there are a lot more available in Europe. Just not cool in America for some reason.
Well I'm glad to know someone has a clue - thank you.
I'm 30 - house will be paid off in 10 years. Other then my lease I have Zero monthly bills. (not including utilities) I have 12% going into 401k, I have a college fun setup got my son.
So if I want to buy a nice car, well I'm sure as hell going to buy one. Most of you might think it's a waste of cash - you might think I'm trying to make up for some little dick issues.
Thats fine, cause I don't give a damn what any of you think about me!
However - 99% of you didn't let me down, when I posted my question I knew that most of you would be tools and couldn't just answer my very simple question.
Honestly - I had no idea this was a simple question. I apologize because I thought this was a "Look at me and what I can afford" thread. Again, I apologize.
I'm glad you are doing well for yourself.
But it doesn't change the fact that it's still a waste of money, even if you have money to waste. My friends like to point out the fact that I make more than them (some much more) yet I ride the bus to work while they drive nice rigs. Why? Because I feel it's the best use of my time and money.
It's about personal choice. You can't seem to make the choice yourself, so you asked.
