I have had a Lexus is350 for several years. Never once needed a repair. Can't recommend it highly enough. | |||

I bought a CPO 2008 IS 250 in 2009. One thing about the Lexus CPO warranty to consider is that there is no per visit deductible the way there is (or at least was) with BMW back then. My car has been perfect and a lot of fun to drive. And as others have mentioned, the Lexus service experience has been great. Bottom line, if you're going CPO, I'd trade a bit of driving prowess (German brands) for Japanese brands' generally better reliability. | |||

I'd never own another BMW again unless it was under warranty. Even though I'd prefer a BMW overall, I'd take the Lexus if it is going to be pre owned. | |||

Love the SS. Here's mine. Notice the SIG hat  Supercharger going on in two weeks! This is one of the few signals that can't be caught or blocked; when a process is sent SIGKILL, it never runs again. This is signal 9, as in the ever-popular kill -9 | |||

You want comfort for a 6 hr drive?? How about 12 hrs?? Ford Flex, I kid you not. It will certainly fall into your budget for a low mileage used one. | |||

You're joking. Right? The OP is single again. He wants to meet girls and date again. | |||

Well, excuuuuuuse me.  | |||

Actually, you may have a point. If he meets a divorced soccer mom who needs seating for 10 kids the Flex could be a hit. | |||

Well, in that case, he needs a Mercedes 320SL. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

.... and a rental car. Find New and Used Mercedes Benz SL320 Parts at UNeedAPart.com There’s nothing more frustrating than being unable to find Mercedes Benz SL320 parts when you need them. http://www.uneedapart.com/mercedes-benz-sl320-parts/ "Some things are apparent.

You indicated Charger was an option, why not consider a 300? ________________________ P229 Stainless Elite P320 X-Five Legion P320 X-Carry | |||

I couldn't imagine buying an actual car instead of a truck. I couldn't stand it. My wife has a Venza xle awd and it's a fantastic car. Wide like my Tundra. She needed my truck for a few days and I had to use the car. It reinforced that I will always have a truck. I think it was a very close sister car to the Lexus RX 350. My wife is upset the Venza is discontinued. I think the RX 350 will have to be the next car. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

Another vote for Lexus here. I just purchased a 2017 GS350, loaded. Got it for about $6,000 under MSRP. It's replacing my 2003 GS430, which I have owned since new. I pick it up this upcoming weekend. The GS430 has been a wonderful vehicle. But it is so old, it doesn't even have Bluetooth, or many other modern features we take for granted today. I cannot say enough good things about it. And yes, it has been very cheap to maintain. | |||

If you want comfort and performance, a German SUV isn't a bad idea. I drive a new x1 and it is comfortable, roomy, pretty quick, and handles like a car. Very nice to take long trips with and will get 30mpg highway. ------------------------------------ My books on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/William-...id=1383531982&sr=8-1 email if you'd like auto'd copies. | |||

Nah. Few women know the difference, and fewer care. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way.
