just got a phone call from Mission Viejo Infiniti, I think they are willing to get me close to invoice, i'll know more when I get back out to cali and go and talk w/ them. I'll do some bidding between Costa Mesa and MV

 

Im sure ill get beat for this.. but how about...




1. rare
2. fast
3. lux
4. the hood would be pimp when waxed
5. rare
6. Jesal wants one
7. can be had for around 35k used.

 

The S-type R? I drove a base S-type, and didn't feel "wowed" at all. When I drove the XJ Super V8 however.....................

 

I just realized I didn't answer the question at hand in the thread


Scott, I honestly don't picture you in a G35. Out in SoCal I think you'll grow weary of seeing your car driven by 16 y/o Laguna Beach bitches everywhere you go. I say go for the Magnum R/T or a GTO buddy. See if you can get an 04 GTO in that awesome purple color with matching interior

 

thanks for the backup minch!

 

Love the jag, hate the reliability, we've had a few friends buy "R" cars and all loved them, till ayear later. Also don't want used Unless it's an M3 or S4 avant

 

Everycar out here has 16 y/o laguna beach bitches driving it. I want a 996TT too


The GTO is just bland, and the 04 I drove had shitty suspension which has since been upgraded so I'll give it another look.


I love the Magnum, but I keep remembering I want a sports car, which the magnum is not. However, if I can "somehow" swing an SRT8, i'll get it

And again, the trailblazer SS is still a strong contendor

 

BTW, adriennes parents just bought a black Caddy DTS today, and this thing has me

 

the rims on the 05 g35's look a heck of a lot better.. just googled around and found this:
05 and 06 may have some differences, so

05 = http://www.nissannews.com/infiniti/2...e/glance.shtml
06 = http://www.nissannews.com/infiniti/2...e/glance.shtml

 

 

now you know the situation i'm in


Don't worry, i won't get the caddy, but man would I pimp a fuckin black DTS, limo tinted windows and chrome stock wheels w/ the little thin white walls and gold border

 

anyone think the active steering is worth the buy?

 

i'd get the GC SRT over the TB SS.

 

Mag SRT is the shit...I don't how many times I can say that....I was in love driving it...and I hate autos...

but again...Charger srt is hot shit too...and look at their trunks...those fockers have a ton of storage too.

 

I'm going through the same thing now. I went and drove the 330i and IS350 on Thursday/Friday. Loved the BMW but will not get one due to still finishing up the grad. degree (door dings, scratchs, etc.). So, either a G35C or TL will be gracing my driveway Thursday night.....SO LONG TA-WHORE!!!!

 

if I had an extra 20K I would, GC SRT8's are almost 50


plus my dad already has one of those on order for himself

 

I wish I could express how much I agree w/ you, but it's out of my price range

 

Hmm...I dunno dude, new STI then. I love the new look and the new DCCD has put the car on a level playing field with the EVO handling wise.

I'm with everyone else, I cant see you in a GCoupe anyway.

 

The STi is a strong contendor, however many are trying to talk me out of it. Esp. since it looks like i'm getting a sales job where i'll be driving around customers, etc. We'll see though, it's high on my list. Adri says she'll divorce me if I get one, so I keep leaning towards it more and more

 

I can... I mean, He is a 1st gen CL guy, so going with another coupe seems like a lateral move...

 

Thanks for the info. Have you driven one yet? I may look into that since we're gonna need a truck in my family to tow a boat, and my dad doesn't want to deal with the shity gas mileage.

Bleh, SOOOO many G coupes around its not funny. Plus it seems to be quite the chick car lately.

If you are gonna have to drive around customers, why not get a Legacy GT like Matts? Pretty much same engine as the STI so you can mod it to make tons of power, but its still comfortable to drive people around in? Not quite the sports car, but it would be hard to have a sporty coupe if you have to drive passangers around.

 

If you are going to be driving people around you need 4 doors. Douche bag clients might get pissy crawling into the back seat with little leg room.

The Legacy GT is an amazing car. Cheap to mod, good looks, AWD handling, reliable, good interior, etc.

I plan on picking one up in a year or so when I move on from the CL. I should have bought one back in June when I bought the new(er) CL

Matt's car:

 

90% of CL's I see (first and 2nd gen) are driven by women

 

I'm also looking at the Legacy, I may pick up Blxmjx wagon

 

The sticker was $38,040 and then they added the Sirius sat tuner at the dealer (probably another $400-700). However, I paid $35,750 + ttt (woulda been slightly under invoice). This is for an '05 w/ aero/prem/sport packages and is the AT.

I could have had an '06 w/ all the same options and added active steer, with a sticker of close to $38, 800 (this was a 6sp), for only $37,250.

I can say the active steer was pretty cool. Especially when parking, but I drive 25 miles each way to work and 20 of those miles are in bumper to bumper, hour long, 10mph traffic. I got the auto...

I drove an '05 GTO as well. Obviously MUCH faster, handled decently, and creaked about as much as the Infiniti. Nice leather and such, but no fake-luxo like the Infiniti is. The stick in the goat woulda made my wife puke herself, but it felt stronger that the auto whereas the auto and stick Infiniti was kinda reversed (AT G35 felt strong down low, 6sp felt stronger at redline, but even all the same). Anyway, I coulda had a GTO with all the options for $1900 UNDER invoice. While I think it is the most appealing american car out there, it was a no go.

I looked at the 300C SRT8. Very fast as well, modable, room for the family, but a little cheap inside. It actually even handles well. But they want over sticker on those bad-boys, making the deals close to $50k for a Chrysler product (and why would you buy other than the SRT's???). No thanks...

I simply feel the Infiniti is more reliable than a lot of rwd cars and when it's January 2010, I'll give it to my kid. If he turns out to be a little shi+, well, it has the highest resale value in its class...

 

He's getting rid of it already? I know he sold his M5 in the fall and got the wagon.

 

yea, he's a maniac, he just bought another RX7

If I don't buy it, he'll most likely hold on to it

 

yea, that's where my head is, I don't know how the GTO or STi will hold up 4 years down the road

 

I'm debating between the wagon and the sedan. I like the idea of a fast fucking wagon but it's still just that: a wagon.

 

wagons are pimp as fuck, it's a shame they stopped putting the manuals in the new ones

 

Really? No 5MT for the 2006 wagon?

Oh and a wagon with a front mount and a 20g pushing 22+psi is pimp as fuck

 

The STI is rock solid. I've riden in them, raced them, etc.

And right now in th eUK I've seen about 3-4 old gen STi's....like the gen BEFORE the bug-eye...I hear them barrleing down the street modded...they still look and sound damn good.

Subaru is reliable as hell....if only they made an STi wagon...that'd be tits.

Cant go wrong with the Legacy GT wagon.

Good luck finding a used S4 avant you can trust...only ones in the 30-35 range are TT models...and they are RARE...I should know.....I was searching like mad for those too.

Used Allroad is an idea too, those are pimp...specially if you can find the rare 6spd. chip it....zoom zoom.

 

ok thats fucking retarded.

 

Clarify this for me:

No 5MT in the '06's or the new model ('05+) never had a manual?

 

2005 had a manual....I looked at those, too...

but no socal dealers ever had them in stock

 

And the search begins...

 

pics?

He always has the sweetest cars

 

yea, the S4 avants are hard to come by, let alone in a 6 speed.

I'd be all over an STi wagon if they made it

 

the car is bone stock

 

So when does this round of test drives start ??
