$100k? Fuuuccckkkkkkkk.

6700 miles sure isn't a lot of driving for spending that kind of cash. Did the previous owner trade it in towards something else or what?

Mee?? Naaaah

Truth, it's fast as shit, but the combination of an overly stiff suspension and 21" wheels makes for a very unpleasant, choppy ride, even when set to "comfort".

550xi M-Sport Loaded..Titanium Silver/Black



I wasn't around for this delivery, my secretary took the pic while it was being delivered:
2012 Sonata SE 2.0T - My driver told me it drove quite well..



2012 Elantra Limited - I drove it home last night and am about to go to deliver it in a few minutes. Impressive drive. My only complaint would be that the rear end of the car feels disconnected to the front end when going over a bump, the tail is hopping all over the place. Otherwise pretty nice!



This coming week is gonna be craaaaaazy...

I want that 5er.

And how much are you asking for the Sonata? My friend has one, but really wants the turbo model, especially in white. Mileage?

Few more...I delivered a couple other cars but didn't have the chance to get a pic:

'12 Altima 2.5S Convenience


Ody EX-L



Another Altima 2.5S w/ Convenience



2013 XC90



I took in these cars, but they all need to be cleaned up a bit:
2009 MDX Black/Taupe Base, 45k miles
2009 RDX Black/Black Base AWD, 14k miles
2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L, Dark Cherry/Beige, miles in the low 30's

Also taking in an '09 RDX Tech in Black/Black with about 51k miles.

Volvo needs to redesign that XC90. It's looked like that for as long as I can remember. Unless to the Swedes, LED taillights are considered a major overhaul

Every time I come back into this thread, I am blown away by even more of a story. What a great line of work you've picked. Must be great to be that connected to the automotive industry.

It's crazy, t's having it's bar mitzvah this year, that's how long the design has been around! The '13 is actually a refresh, surprising as it may seem. More of the car is color keyed, the roof rails are silver, and some of the interior lighting is in another color. I didn't notice any of this though other than the rails..

Took these in, but sending them out to get cleaned up. There are some scratches that can't be buffed and I would have to paint some panels, unfortunately:

2009 Odyssey EXL - 39k miles


2009 MDX Base with 45k miles


2010 RDX AWD Base - 14k miles


This car is ready to go - 2009 Corolla XLE with under 14k miles


Took this car on consignment, it's a '97 Z3 3.0i 5 speed with 69k miles



Delivering this today:
G37x


Also delivering a BMW 528xi a little later on, though I haven't picked it up from the dealer yet.

First time I had the opportunity to drive BMW's new 4 cylinder turbo. I tell ya, I'm impressed. It's smooth, it's quiet, it's powerful, though doesn't feel like it has the thrust of the 6 cylinder, but it does what it needs to do to get you going. I just might consider a 3 series when my lease is up in a few mos...

Shoofin need a price on a 2011(if still available at a better rate) or 2012 Nissan Maxima SV ... my father's lease on his altima is up within the next few weeks he's looking to upgrade.

Can you PM me with some info for a 15k lease or give me a phone number I can reach you at? Also potentially looking for a second car as well, so ideally it would be a two car deal, I just need to ask you some questions. thanks!

Man I hated the new 5 series, looked so bland. But that M sport package really wakes it up...a 535xi m sport would make a great daily...hmmmmmm

Keep up the good work Ed!
