Time to buy a car - suggestions?

Ferrari GTO

FreakMonster: The GS430 or the LS400 is a great ride, but it feels like you are driving around in your living room. That's the car for a 55 year old. (No offense Wodin and Ranger).

I am going to look at the CLK 430 and the S-class... [/B]

well if you think driving around in an LS or GS is like driving around in your living room and it's for 55 year olds...that S-Class Benz trumps both of those rides in that aspect. Have you sat in one before? It's ridiculously nice. And I don't think I've ever seen anyone under 40 year old driving one. Don't get me wrong, I'd drive the shit out of one, but your comment struck me as funny.

the CLKs are cool but i have no idea what they were thinking with the nasty stock rims they put on them. just don't get the periwinkle blue one with dark blue top. i believe that model comes with panties installed in the driver's seat.

i drive and love my new mercedes slk 230 compressor. had a suv i gave to my brother for xmas and that was fine but this car is excellent. very small so not practical (nor am I). TT is a tin as is the boxster. (test drove both).

The M5 is beautiful, but they are hard to come by. Wait list?

most 2002 new ones go for $74k. used 1993 models are $40k

i don't see why people buy nice cars. they depreciate in value.

Flexed - I won't drive an Audi. My teacher in 5th grade had one and she ruined me to that brand.

Super - I see what you are saying, but I have observed a difference between the S-class and the big Lexus. With the big Lexus, it feels like it was designed to be your living room, whereas the S500 (for example) seems like it was designed for performace and happened to turn into a living room....does that make sense?

You're right though - these are not vehicles where under 40 is the target audience..

"live like that"...LOL only because I am still at work here on a Friday night, and wuill be until 10PM or so.....15 hour day....average. Also will be spending most of the week working on my book, and developing my other business - education consutling.

Trying to find the time to look at some commercial real estate this weekend as well. May have found a really good deal.

So as far as "living like that" - I am not sure which you mean.

The Lexus GS and LS are in teh mid 60s. The S-class can range into the 80s or more.

Meaning that you have a great job and you are secure, not some college guy living at home with his mama. Thats what i mean by living like that.

has anyone mentioned the yugo yet?
or the chevy geo?

both excellent choices - for the money of the cars that some of these were saying, you could get probably 10 chevy geos and then just leave them scattered about town.
great in cities.

*doh - by geo I meant the geo metro that is now some chevy thing

Time to give the jeep a break.
