I know you guys love to car shop. So heres what hes looking for. he wants a sedan (hes married with a kid and his 97 maxima is dying on him) he wants leather, and navi. He wont get navi with the price he gave me so forget that.

Hes looking to spend about 20-27k total.

The car im thinking of is the new mazda 6. Can anyone think of somthing else? I think he would buy a used car, but not that old. Maybe a year old.

Mazda 6 is nice for 24k

 

Subaru RS. AWD 165 hp 2.5L 4cyl 4dr sedan.

 

new Accord v6

 

Or tsx in a few months.

 

but the sedan is soooo ugly

 

TSX???

 

I used to think so but all the goodies/safety features would be a GREAT value for family car!!

 

Mazda 6 or the TSX.

 

TSX would be nice, but its not out yet is it? His maxima is gonna die really soon. So he needs somthing within a month.

 

If he can't wait to for the TSX, I'd go for the new Accord or even check on the Altima or Maxima.

 

Accord all the way.

 

used TL w/ navi?

 

ok cool. Ill tell him to look at the altima, maxima, 2001 es300, and accord...

 

should have gave him yours...

 

Jesal...your bro doesn't have the cash flow...like you:P

 

hes banking... but hes just cheap and doesnt care about cars

Oh and he wont get a TL cuz all the horror stories i told him about it. :o my bad.


I think looking at a used 2001 es300... would be nice too

 

What kind of horror stories did you have with the TL

 

not my stories, but just other stories... like tranny problems and such. My brother doesnt have the time to make trips to the dealer for things like that. :P

 

dude, Accord Sedan or last gen ES3. my friend has one and its a really nice car overall, and the body style (while very camry-ish) is pretty sporty looking in black. whatever, there are alot of nice cars for that price range.

 

Dude, he can just buy the TL, establish himself as a devoted Acura family member, and then sell it for a Bimmer. He can be just like Craz....oh, never mind.

 

wrx? I don't think he can get leather, but AWD kicks ass!

 

Well he just called me, and said that his friends can get him a lincoln LS v8 (2001) with 13k miles... for $16k...


How are those cars?

 

It's a Lincoln... Is he over 50???

 

thats what i said.


Any forums for the LS?

 

It will be in real soon and seems to fit all his needs.

 

the LS V8's are pretty nice. He would be happy with it. It'll fit the banker profile. It is a nice no nonsense car.

 

Maximas around me are going for $5000 off msrp. He should get an 03 b4 they get ugly.

 

Lincoln LS with 13k miles for $16k...

now thats some serious depreciation! There's a reason for that.

 

I thought he doesnt like making trips to the dealer./...Hes still getting a lincoLn?? COME ON...

Get him
03 maxima
02 bmw323
02 audi a4


ANYTHING BUT A LINCOLN

 

Don't assume that. If it weren't for my wiser better-half, I'd be driving a G35 coupe. She's insistent (correctly so, as much as I hate to admit it) on putting $1500 a month extra on the house. I'll be very thankful in 12 years.

In any case, he wanted Nav, so I'd have to recommend the Accord V6 (and yes, appearance-wise, the sedan, at least from the back, isn't all that). It's funny, because in my personal evaluation to get an Altima, I actually had the Accord Coupe 6spd rated slightly higher than the Altima, but the "grin" factor of the VQ coupled with the attitude of the Honda dealers I talked led me to the Alt. I don't think I could have gone wrong either way.

He might also want to consider the Camry (not sure if it has Nav).

 

no, thats auction price. My brother knows someone at a ford dealer i guess...

 

here's an idea! :thinking: HOw about a hot new '04 maxima!

 

^^

 

that was the first car my brother wanted to get, till i kicked him in the balls

 

Hey what's up man. Why don't you tell your brother to find a used GS300 then; the new body style. I'm sure he'll find one for under 30.
