mmmmmm....
even if you look at the order guide, you can go from all-season tires to summer tires by upgrade the wheels, but you can't do other way around.

I am waiting on my friend to give me green light on E350 with employee discount, so I can upgrade my current 09 model to 2011 model.I was never fan of A5 cab. I am surprise to see that someone is buying cab during winter season.

Is the Accord MT or AT? A V6MT Accord w/Navi is the best possible combo IMO

Put a deposit down on a 2011 QX56 that is incoming. Showed me the list of incoming units and only one fit the bill. F'n sticker price. Had to get up and walk out twice to get them to take off the dealer paint protectio add-ons and crap. Swore i'd never pay sticker for a vehicle but guess what? Sometimes you gotta give alittle to please the wife. Most of the incoming units were already sold.

Not yet. I'm taking it in most likely by Wednesday and then I have to put it through some conditioning. Painting the front bumper from parking scratches and 2, maybe 3 wheels need to be resurfaced from curb rash. Might need brakes, etc...I have to go over the whole car. I should physically have it by Wednesday I hope.

This was the A5 Premium I delivered tonight...Ibis White/Beige Leather/Brown Top...I love the wheels. I didn't like the ride though, doesn't feel as solid as the coupe.
Also delivered the E350 Bluetec but it was too dark to take pics. The Accord Coupe got pushed off for tomorrow night. I have a busy week ahead of me, off the top of my head a short list of cars to deliver:
CR-V EX-L Navi
Accord EX Cloth and that EXL V6 Navi Coupe
MB E350 Cab
Possibly an E350 Coupe
2 or 3 MB C300's
Honda Civic EX Nav
328xi coupe (the Porsche is the trade in)
Odyssey EX
Nissan Rogue AWD SV SL
GMC Yukon Denali
Range Rover HSE
Plenty more but that's all I can think of this second
I gotta hire a driver already...

I'm looking for work as a driver 
It'll be a bit of a commute, but that's fine. When can I start?

Thanks for the offer, but we have a private buyer for our Tahoe lined up to do a courtesy trade at the dealer. That will save about $2100 right there plus we are getting a decent price from them on our vehicle. We just have NO competition here. I think I could have gotten a better deal to go to Houston or ATL but it just wasn't worth the aggravation with the trade in situation.

But your payment might be higher if the state forces the taxes to be absorbed in the payments. I could work up that same car using your tax rate if you really want to know how much it will be...

Our lease sales tax in my county is 7% of the monthly payment per month. So the monthly is worked out then 7% added to it every month. We don't pay tax on the total value of the car. GA is one of the best states to lease a car in...

it goes back to their racing days when they designed it like that to save time... you turn on the car with your left hand while your right hand puts the car in gear... i never knew this until i drove my friends Cayenne one day and was like wtf?! so i looked it up...

that was done by porsche way back in the racing days. I forget what racing series it was, but they would run to the car and get in and drive off. With the key on the right side of the wheel it took a couple extra seconds to take your hand from the key to the shifter to leave the starting area.i don't know which manufacturer started it, but porsche put the key on the left side so it freed up their right hand to immediately shift it into gear and get a couple second advantage over the competition.

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
I like the Porsche, but the tip, as mentioned, is not that desirable. But the roof looks like a two man job. That kind of sucks.

Never really been a fan of the Aspen. Always thought it was kind of a smaller Escalade wannabe

Don't know if this was asked yet, but how you do decide what used vehicles to take on? Do you have some sort of mental criteria or checklist it has to pass?
