Re: Another \"What Car Should I Buy?\" Question
 

For that amount of money, I'm going for a Toyata Prius. That's the car I'm currently looking at trading in my GTi VR6 for.

Then again, you probably don't have the traffic that we have here, and are not in the same mind set as I am: Looking for something that's reliable, will get me good mileage and I can drive for 250K+ miles.

If option c is really an option, then why would you spend $20k+ right now anyways? Vanity?

Option C is totally an option. It's basically because I have the "my car just hit 100k miles" bug. I love the car, have had it for almost 5 years with no problems, and it's still in really nice chape because I take good care of it, so there really is NO reason I should be getting a new car right now.

I totally fell in love with the new TLs when they came out, so I decided I would wait one year and buy one used. Now that the year has passed, I found a good deal on one, but then started thinking maybe I'd like a new car and started thinking about the 6. But like I said, I have basically decided to get some upkeep done on the Maxima and think about it again next year. This is the correct decision.

Personally, I don't understand buying cars brand new. Its burning up $x the second you drive it off the lot. I've never bought - or driven - a brand new car though, so maybe I'm missing some kind of mystique that makes it worth it.

You are right. This has always been my belief until I started flirting with the idea of the 6 last week. I shall stick by my guns and not make any irrational decisions. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

And while we're at it, I'm trying to decide between:

a) a 2005 (brand new) Mazda 6 5-door, 5-speed, loaded for $21,600
b) a 2004 Acura TL, 6-speed, loaded except Nav. for $27,000
c) keeping my 1999 Nissan Maxima through the winter and then getting something.

Of these two, I'd definitely go for the TL. Whether or not you get a new car or hang on to your old one is up to you.

Unsound advice, even if they are dirt cheap.

If I had 20K+ to spend on a car, I'd go with a WRX STi or a Lancer EVO. I'm not ready to be luxurious yet.

Re: Another \"What Car Should I Buy?\" Question
 

used audi A4 (A6 probably too costly), used BMW 3 series, used acura TL/CL, used infiniti G35 or I35, used lexus IS300, new acura TSX or RSX. basically, all entry level 'luxury' mfg. car models of compact sedans/coupes.
