Oh my gawd! That last post has so much win!

I got the chance to drive a new 5-series a few weeks back and I absolutely loved it. It's in a whole different league compared to the E60.

Shoofin can I come up to NY and drive around these nice cars with you? I'll treat you to a few games of bowling

Come on up, I'm always looking for drivers to help with deliveries...

Today I delivered a 2010 base Altima.
Tomorrow I have a 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited and a 2011 Toyota Sienna XLE to deliver.
Monday I have a 2010 Toyota Highlander Limited, a 2011 Camry XLE V6 and a 2010 Nissan Rogue 360 Value Edition....

I am working on a 335xi 4 door for someone but are having a difficult time getting them approved...And they want a weird combo too, Space Grey with Chestnut Brown interior, Premium Package , Cold Weather, Navigation, Satellite radio, iPod adapter, Sport Package with 18's, Automatic, etc...

Keep going?

How do you work this? Do you order through dealers? Are you like a broker?

Just trying to understand...

I hope that Sienna is for someone like their nanny. I'd want at least a Mercedes R350 with that kinda money.

Unfortunately it isn't the case. The wife has muscular dystrophy and needs to be able to move around better. They currently have a Mercedes and Audi Sedans but she has a difficult time going around in them. They are sending out the van to have it converted for her special needs (http://www.braunability.com/)

Good God. Have some money.

Sad to hear about the wife though. A good friend of mine was paralyzed in an accident two years ago and his parents have a wheelchair accessible Sienna to get him around.

My parents are looking for a "small" luxury SUV. Used 2007-2010 BMW x3, Lexus RX, or an Acura MDX, maybe even a BMW X5 if the price is right. I'm taking them test driving next week, but if we wanted to go through to actually get a vehicle, what would the process be? TIA!

I have to look around. I did find a white/parch '07 with nav/dvd and about 70k miles on it. Also another with 40k miles. But white/black will not be the easist to find, I don't think.

40k mile car:

Do you have pictures/details on the one that has 40k? He is defiantly interested in that one.

Congratulations! You won the statement of the week!

Tell him what he's won, Johnny!

For making a completely asinine and obvious comment you've won ridicule and derision! Bask in the warm glow of your computer monitor while people you don't know roll their eyes, sigh, and respond with long-winded jokes about how ridiculous your comments are!
