    The new Range's are sick. LCD dash board is the future. One of my uncles has one and a Phantom :eek:

    One of my cousins buys and sells cars like it's nothing. He'll keep it for 6-12 months, get bored with it and eventually sell it. He just bought a 08 Range Rover Sport..got 24's..dropped it and added running boards. It looks really nice..love the sporty look.

    A lot of Persians and Arabs buy and sell cars for a living. They front like it's their car (technically it is) but know that they'll only have it for a month or so before they flip it. My cousin isn't in that business.

    Yeah I was also considering the CTS-V! I actually think Cadillac has done a better job with the cabin (used to be really cheap in quality and look). Can't go wrong with the E63 though! I'd pick a E55 amg which is also nice.

    I currently drive a CLK 55 AMG which is great but is getting up there in age.

    Let me know your conclusion!

    You definitely could! If u live in Houston that is! I found a M6 for 50k. It was 06-08. If I can find a V10 BMW for that low youll find the obviously more common and numerous M3 for that much! Happy shopping!

    Nice. What is the best resource for tracking down a used car?

    Autotrader, Cars.com, AutoNation, EBay Motors, Craigslist.

    About a months or so ago, I actually looked at the current gen M3 before I realized it's more than what I'm willing to pay :grin: The cheapest I found in the Houston area was north of $45k, and the cheapest within a 300 mile radius was $41k (aka Dallas/San An/Austin).

    If you really want a car in the immediate future, check those sites on a regular basis so you can snatch a deal as soon as it's posted.

    God I want that. I do have interesting taste, currently an 82 Vette is my car toy, but a black Porsche would just hit the spot.

    Momentum does financing for specific models and years. They can check the national inventory and send down any car for you but I'm sure you'll be able to find one locally.

    Even if I were a billionaire I wouldn't need anything more then a $21,000 MSRP.

    Flashy is not my style.

    I'm due to upgrade by summer when my kid gets my car for college. LOL poor kid is inheriting a 2007 Toyota Corolla S with 200,000 even though I bought it new. Highway miles pretty much but wear is wear IMO.

    I'd like a 2006 or 2007 F-150 but for the commute to work I am thinking an older VW Jetta diesel or Honda Civic/Toyota Camry hybrid.

    You would be surprised about the type of pre-owned vehicle you could get for 20-30. This car seems ideal for you! :p

    Audi A4, BMW 3-series, or Lexus IS series.

    Not sure which exact model yet, because I haven't test driven any... because by '02 Subaru is still workin' and only has 38k on it. And hey, if my Subaru lasts a few more years, I'll probably be able to upgrade to an BMW M-series or Audi S-series.

    (I'm not going to finance anything. F that.)
