In all likelihood, we will return the Murano @ lease end (Aug 08) and then trade our Quest for a leftover (or slightly used) 07 Honda Odyssey EX-L. But this is ONLY if we feel that the Quest is on its last 'wheel.'

NSX, where is that home?

lol...yeah, I'm sorry, I AM looking for a boxster S, but since I plan on keeping it for awhile, I wanna make sure it's what I want. I'm looking for a black on black or black on red leather 05+ boxster s, but it's gotta be a 6pd, gotta have navi, xenon headlights (or litronic as porsche calls them) and the cold weather package...i found plenty of black on blacks, but most of them have no xenons...and practically no used boxsters have navi... I'll find it soon though...if I can't find one in 6 mos, I may have to decide on someting else....too bad lotus doesn't make a luxury elise....

Indeed, taxes for a similar central NJ prop is 2-3 times that.

Sorry for the guys.

Probably another G35c. I love the one I have, and I've heard they are even better now. I love a coupe, never owned a sedan, and was worried getting rid of the CL-S that sedans were all that was available in my price range. Glad I was wrong!

I'm stuck with my car for a couple years because I want to put the money towards a house. But I think we're trading in the wife's for a Murano.

It's too early for me and my wife to decide. I still have more than 1.5 years before the lease on my Audi is up. We are thinking about the 335i coupe, however the new A4 was debuted in Europe, and it's looking really nice.

They are the same car. The top pic is with the 1st set of rims I had. The bottom pic is with the 2nd set of rims.

I sees...I have to say I like the first rims better, but sweet ride!!! that gen prelude is still soooooo hot....is that the gen with the 4 wheel steering? I would totally get one if it were good on gas and reliable (and if an SH could be found NOT already riced...)

Yeh. The I35 has 80K on it right now. I put on about 30K the last year. I'll keep it for 2 more years and then it's gone.

My wife loves our Murano. I am afraid she may have a breakdown when the lease ends.

I've got a few years before another new car, so who knows?

But, I am looking forward the 4G TL-S. Hopefully it'll be as hot as we all hope.

My wife would prefer an RL. While nice, for that kind of money, I'd seriously look at a 335.

Yep. I don't think I'll ever buy a new car. I was thinking about trading in the Pathfinder for a Murano lease, since we put about 8K on her car in a year and 30K on my I35.

The Murano I test drove was SSSWWWWEEEEEEEEETTTTTTT! They wanted way too much for it. $27K for a 2004 with 46K miles was nuts.

I'm also considering the Pacifica, but I'm not sold on it yet. I can get a loaded one for less than $20K with navi, dvd and less than 36K.

Aside from a defective throttle body very early on (replaced under warranty), it has been largely trouble free. The interior is LARGE and quite comfortable (despite its external appearance) and has plenty of rear seat legroom and comfort. (My kids LOVE the fact that the rear seat reclines, adding to the comfort level.)

As far as driveability, it accelerates, brakes, handles and rides like a champ. I put 'brake' in bold because the Mo stops better than ANY car I have ever owned. The ride quality is average at best but, I tend to attribute that to the same suspension setup that enables it to handle so well for a 4,000lb SUV. Sidenote: I had a nice high speed 'back-and-forth' with an FX35 on the NYS Thruway two weeks ago and the Murano more than held its own.

If I had to have one family oriented car for multiple purposes, it would be the Murano.

That Murano price is jacked up. Here is one and another for $24k with much less mileage.

The 07 models have some really good deals, but I was really pissed at the one dealer. They offered me $9000 for my Pathfinder even though their book said closer to $12K. I walked out. Shady.

I'll keep looking. There's not a lot to look at out here. I may have to head towards Philly.
