Audi's don't seem so "reliable" to me...I haven't really considered them I guess.

It sounds like he wants more luxury. In that price range it is hard to beat a slightly used Lincoln. They take a HUGE depreciation hit the first 2 years so you get great bang for the buck.

Looks like the one based on pre new tauras. I don't think he likes those but I will check.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ps. he refuses to look at any GM car or Dodge one too. (GM because of bailout shit and quality and dodge straight on quality).

Lincoln's don't slow down their depreciation landslide after 2 years, ask me how I know.

That and they are usually electrical and ignition nightmares, new or not.

Yea I am guessing he won't be interested anyway, he cares about reliability, not super bling bling.

I still want him to get the Optima with the upgrade package with sunroof, leather, heated/cooled seats etc. That thing was awesome. if I was spending 27k it would be that.

But he isn't sold on it yet.

You will! We're going to be having a fire sale once we hear from Suzuki what the final incentives will be. But, as you know it's not the peppiest car.

Re: Need New DD...~15k

The newer Tauras is really nice. I had one for a rental in Connecticut, and my buddy did too, and I was quite surprised. Definitely a car I'd consider owning if I was looking for something in that category.

Re: Need New DD...~15k

Is there a 30 day return policy on your car? Id give it back... Usually dealers have a return policy.

OOOh good idea, I thought I remember Trogdor mentioning using that policy when he brought back his Lancer for the Ralli-Art.

You have to exchange the car though for another one. I still doubt I'd get a "better" deal than what I got. I mean, yea I'd get a brand new one but I dunno.

How did it work when you traded in your Lancer for your Ralli-Art?
