Yet another DD thread

[A//// Guy]

lmao at bobbys listings that are all sub 250hp minus the G8, and only 1 or 2 is awd. haha fail.

335ix or S4 instead of a6? Looks like your mpg isnt that big of a deal. Check out the newer Volvo S60s (not R) too, they have 300hp.

Because that's what out there on the car market for 25k and low mileage. The kind of cars that make that type of power, are awd, and are low miles aren't 25k. There's a couple cars out there that I can get but didn't bother linking be aide they're 75,000+ miles.

Surprised you didn't like the Infinity's. I love the look (in and out) or the G37. My co worker got a Maxima to save a little money over the Infinity. Not awd, but that thin hauls ass and is pretty Damn nice.

How much are used SHO's going for? Awd and twin turbo

[enasnitsi]

Just sold a sho at my work for 22,500. It was pretty fast maybe not as comfortable as some of the others.

BTW, you're not going to find a low mileage X for $25,000. We just sold a 2008 with 97k on it for 21k.

Really?

Someone forgot to tell Kline about that, 2008 with 41k on it for $25k. All the rest of the cars were nothing what I asked for.

@brown - yeah 265hp won't cut it. The 270hp in the CTS I test drove yesterday was meh.

Been living with 235hp in a durango for the last 3 years, granted it has tons of torques from the 5.9l. As of right now it is between an X and he CTS I think. 2 very different cars, but each with their strengths. These also happen to be the 2 cars I like the looks of the most by a long shot. Can't wait to drive the X, hopefully tomorrow.

@halon I fully expected the G37x to win, but really didn't like the interior. The leather on the steering wheel was horrible, I have felt softer leather on a football. Sharp plastic in the door pull, it just didn't feel high quality and leg space was very tight too. The design style was nice, just didn't feel good in person. The guy that traded it in had 3 G's before and went to a Toyota cuz the interior was getting too cheap on the G. I am sure driving the G would have been nice, but it wasn't what I was looking for.

S60, A4, RL. If it's a daily, you want something comfortable, you're not exactly young anymore.

[Goat Blower]

Actually, screw gas mileage, get a newer Tahoe. Besides my GSX, this is the longest I've ever owned a car, and I still love it, that's gotta say something.

With the traffic I have to drive in I don't want something big like a tahoe, my durango is too big. I used to like Volvo's, but not so much any more, the S40 only has 227hp. A4 doesn't have enough power (wish the S4 had the supercharged 6) and the RL is too big. I thought about the TL SH-AWD, but I just can't get by that front end. SHO is just too big too. I am pretty sure I want something evo X/335/CTS sized.

I am getting a bit older, so I think the CTS might end up winning. I will end up having to get a fun car if I get that though, as they are not very modable.

That's actually a good price! If there's nothing wrong with the car, that should def. be on your list!

[goodhart]

So the 25 1g's idea was a no-go? Just think, you'd have a different car for almost every day of the month, and plenty of spare parts!

[turbotalon1g]

He still wouldn't finish it!

Impressive! Even with all those lots, you didn't have any cars that fit the criteria. Got any Fiestas for sale?

300Hp isn't bad

300hp attached to an awd slushbox in a heavy car. Looking at the specs last year i thought i would LOVE the RL as a daily. I went and test drove one and was VERY disappointed in the lack of power. Its all about how the car feels, not just reading the spec sheet.

I have a connection. Might be able to get one.

[A//// Guy]

Forgot to mention this one too. Lexus IS350

[Halon]

I still like these. Had one as a rental last fall, and it was a great car to drive I thought, definately something I'd be looking at if I was looking for a new DD for myself. Smooth comfy ride, quiet interior, decent power, Ford MyTouch w/ Sync is pretty sweet, good size.

Or if you must have AWD and more powa!
