Living the Dream
Still gots it.
2006 TSX, off the lot with 90 miles (March '06), up to ~27k miles now.
Will hold onto to it at least until it's paid off.
For some odd reason, the car that I could see myself in next is an Audi A4 Avant (S4 Avant if the funds are there

As much as I love my Mazdaspeed, I wish I had something nicer interior-wise. I think I may pick up the new leather/alcantara seat covers off the 2008.5 and the piano black trim too.
Need to spend a day going through the car and fixing every rattle I hear and then I'll probably be happier.

I put leather in my new Mazda3s Touring and it makes a huge difference, especially with the door panels.

I had a 94 Tbird with the 4.6L V8 when I registered for the forum in Aug 02... bought a 2003 CLS 6spd in late Sept 02, and still have it...
Only 68K miles so, I'll probably keep it for awhile... As much as I'd like a BMW 128i, I don't know if I want to get back in to car payments anytime soon... I had the tbird till it had 136K miles on IIRC, so I tend to keep cars for awhile...
Maybe I'll buy used instead of new next time around

Wait two more years and buy something used.
After buying my Mazdaspeed3, I think I've finally learned my lesson. No more soul-crushing depreciation for me. I'm buying used so if I get sick of something after a year, I've not lost my ass on it.

When I first registered I had a 97 Civic EX coupe as a daily driver, and drove an 03 TL-S on the weekends. Never really owned a car until late November of last year. That's when I bought my 95 Integra LS sedan. Had it until September 2007, then bought an 02 Camaro Z28 in mid-October. Still have it of course and I love it. ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Won't ever buy a Honda or Acura for myself again unless its an S2000 or RWD.

I got it with 3 miles on it and now I have 51,330 miles. How about you?

However, if I were to find a lexus with low miles on the lot that would make me wonder well why did they already swith over to another brand? The same thing would apply for having a used Acura a Lexus dealer.

Hm that really stinks but I guess its just buying a used car you run a risk. I would be really mad in your case if 3k later it started giving my problems. And it really stinks the lemon law is no good for used cars either. Then again it comes back to since its used who knows maybe the first 35k the first owner didnt have any problems. Shoppin for a used car is a hard task and sadly you can never been 100% sure your getting a good car.

Well dont forget that dealers swap cars often.
My buddy traded in his TSX (had $14k of damage fixed) at a lexus dealer. Then two weeks later we found it at the Acura dealer. It was also certified.
